Est: £150 - £250
KEIBUN MATSUMURA (1779-1843) 19th Century, Kyoto Consisting of two framed paintings, ink and color on silk from the series of Keibun's Birds and Flowers, Keibun Kacho Gafu, circa 1894. One depicting two crows and flowering mountain cherry blossom under the full moon; the other depicting a brace of ducks flying down ready to land on water, both prints with the artist's seal. 22.5cm x 7cm; 30cm x 36.5cm, both framed (2) - PROVENANCE: English Private Collection - NOTE: Keibun Matsumura was a Japanese painter known for images of birds and flowers. The artist lived in Kyoto and was a leading member of the Shijo school of painting. He lived in Kyoto and studied with his elder brother Matsumura Goshun as well as with Maruyama Okyo. He served as an attendant to the Buddhist Prince Shinnin, and lived at the Myoho-in, which owns many of his paintings. Afer Goshun's death, Keibun and Okamoto Toyohiko inherited the studio on Shijo street and the responsibility for the Shijo school of painting. From 1818 until his death, he was one of the leading artists in kyoto and secured the position of the Shijo school. He sometimes used "go" as Kakei. Goshun, Toyohiko and Keibun are considered the three most important artists of the Shijo school. Keibun's paintings were especially popular in Kyoto during the early 19th century. His classical, clearly structured painting style is reminiscent to the style of Okyo.
