| An Inspiring 19th Century Korean Painting filled with Symbolism of Love and Long Life. A Crane Couple, symbol of longevity and of love when they are paired like this, look deeply into each other's eyes, as they stand on a branch of a pine tree, a symbol of steadfastness. The pine tree reaches into the heavens and into the beautiful clouds, a symbol of Heaven, all under the loving eye of the Sun, another symbol of long life. Beneath their feet grow red pullocho, the mythical longevity plant. Cranes mate for life, and are a symbol of eternal love. A gorgeous and lovingly rendered example of Korean folk art at its finest and most inspired. The framing mat has been cut open and needs to be replaced. I have left it alone so you can decide what color and pattern of mat to use. Mat replacement is quite inexpensive. Frame: 47.5 x 24.5 inches, 121 x 62 cm; Painting: 33 x 17 inches, 84 x 43 cm. Mineral pigments on paper. | ||
