Chinese Painting On Paper. Noble Ladies With Prunus. China, Qing Period Or Earlier.
Artist: Song
Watercolor on paper depicting two ladies strolling, likely a court lady followed by her servant carrying a vase of plum branches. Perhaps an allegory for spring? The refined style suggests a very early period, Song dynasty or earlier, but only a specialist could specify a date. The painting, badly damaged with numerous missing sections, was restored in China with the utmost care. The restoration is very old; if a Chinese collector commissioned such a fine restoration in the 19th century (or earlier), it is because they believed they possessed a very precious painting. China, 18th century or earlier… Mounted on an old woven silk fabric. 336 x 219 mm
A series of photos were taken in natural light and 2 of them show the highlighted restorations.
