백자 철화 용 무늬 항아리 조선|白磁鐵畫龍文壺 朝鮮|Jar decorated with dragons

Unknown

17th century · Porcelain with underglaze iron-brown design · Asian Art

The dragons circling this bulbous jar are represented only by sinuous, scaly bodies. Their depictions are extremely abbreviated, almost to abstraction, and clearly convey the speed of the brush, giving the jar vigor, vibrancy, and a modern aesthetic.
