About the piece

Created in 1645 by the Chinese literati artist Zhang Feng, this work depicts Zhong Kui, the legendary 'Demon Queller.' The artist utilizes fluid brushwork and a minimal palette to capture the powerful presence of the figure, complemented by a vertical inscription on the left. This painting is a refined example of early Qing dynasty art, offering a sophisticated and culturally rich focal point for traditional and modern interiors alike.
