Framed Four-Panel Chinese Silk Embroidery with Pheasants and Peonies

This decorative piece consists of four vertical panels of silk embroidery, joined horizontally to create a continuous panoramic scene, housed within a modern dark wood frame. The central composition features two long-tailed ring-necked pheasants within a classic garden landscape. One pheasant is perched high on a blossoming plum branch, while the second stands near a rock formation amidst blooming red and white peonies. The needles use a variety of satin and long-and-short stitches to create texture and depth, particularly visible in the feathered plumage and the delicate white flower petals. Black Chinese calligraphy and a red artist seal are visible on the far left panel, which typically denotes the title of the work and the studio signature. The color palette is earthy and traditional, utilizing muted gold, brown, and sage green tones. The embroidery exhibits high-quality craftsmanship, with meticulous detail in the bamboo leaves and tree bark. The condition appears stable, with the artwork protected by glass. There is some minor reflection on the glass surface and slight unevenness in the silk tension across the four panels, which is common for multi-panel mounted textile works. The framing is modern, likely 20th century, suggesting it was re-mounted for contemporary display.
