THE STORY BEHIND THE ARTWORK

A Closer Look

The Chinese god of war Guan Yu sits enthroned, his long beard flowing over a fur-trimmed robe, a scroll in his hand. Hokusai draws him with firm, sculptural lines: the heavy drapery falls in deep folds, the face stern beneath a formal cap. Columns of inscription fill the upper sheet, giving the image the gravity of a devotional icon. The composition is frontal and symmetrical, emphasizing the god's authority. Ink alone carries the whole image, the brush shifting from fine detail in the face to bold sweeps in the robes. It is a portrait of power at rest, formidable even seated. The original work is an ink drawing on paper by Katsushika Hokusai, dated to the 18th-19th century. This product is a hand-painted oil-on-canvas reproduction inspired by the original work.
