    Description

    I have for sale a set of antique Chinese paintings
    I believe they are four spreads, originally from a book/manuscript
    They are mounted on a silk scroll, which is mounted on a foam core board
    I believe they depict the 8 figures from the traditional "Chinese Immortals" legend
    They are painted on paper, using fine brushes, and nice vibrant color inks.
    The first image show a red matte board with cut-out windows
    Each panel/spread is about 13.5" wide, and 12.5" tall
    Overall size of the board is:  60" tall, 18" wide
    These are masterfully executed, highly detailed works of art. That have wonderful sense of history
    They are similar in style to:
    "One hundred portraits of Peking opera characters" shown at The Metropolitan Museum in New York
