Fine 24-Leaf Painting & Calligraphy Album, Qing Dynasty



Up for auction is another fine Chinese painting from our large collection of East Asian paintings which will be sold on eBay in the following months. This is a beautiful set of 12 ink on silk paintings with their respective poem colophons preserved in their original album mounting. Each painting leaf depicts scholars interacting in Song Dynasty style landscape and is inscribed with a cyclic date, artist's signature and seal. The pure literati's style paintings retains the elegant tradition of early Chinese Song taste by its sparse layout and deft play of ink washes. These paintings could only have been executed by an accomplished artist. On the left side of each painting is mounted with a long poem written on a red ink lined and plum blossom decorated paper sheet. Each poem also bears the same signature and seal as the corresponding painting. The quality of the calligraphy is superb, which also points to a distinguished calligrapher. The entire 24 leaves of silk paintings and calligraphy paper sheets were mounted as a traditional 24-leaf album with blue paper board covers and a title slip. The mounting appears to be original without any sign of re-mounting. All painting and calligraphy sheets are in excellent condition with only minor staining and fabric separations as illustrated. This is a complete set of fine paintings and calligraphy not commonly found on open market. Please review all detailed photos carefully and appreciate the beauty of this complete set of classic Chinese paintings and calligraphy. This rare and beautiful painting and calligraphy album was acquired in Japan in early 1970's. We guarantee that it is a set of original ink on silk paintings and ink on paper calligraphy, not prints or woodblocks. Due to the condition of this painting and the inherent scholarship controversy of any old Chinese painting and calligraphy, we can not take return once the transaction is completed. The sales is final. Other than the originality and as-presented guarantee, we do not attempt to make any attribution on its authorship. Please do not buy it for the purpose of studying it to see if it is something you assumed it is.
