Description
I have for sale a set of antique Chinese paintingsI 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
