The grand screen features a beautifully hand-painted chinoiserie garden scene executed across an expansive celadon, blue-green ground. The composition is richly detailed with flowering branches, blossoming shrubs, exotic birds, butterflies, and a low rolling garden floor, creating a panoramic scenic effect across the screen. Executed in a dazzling and diverse palette of ivory, blush, coral, yellow, sage, and soft blue, the composition recalls 18th-century Chinese export wallpapers and the bespoke Chinoiserie scenes for which Gracie is known. The reverse is finished in a simple and understated pale powder blue. Both grand in scale and richly decorative, the screen works beautifully as a room divider, scenic backdrop, or elegant wall decoration. The vibrant natural color pigments stand out boldly against the verdant field. Each panel measures approximately 18" wide for a total width of approximately 146" laid flat. The screen has an authentic aged finish and distressed patina as seen in photos with minor fading, light stains, and old repairs.
