Framed Chinese Painting of a Court Official, C20th
A Chinese painting on silk depicting a court official or ‘mandarin’ standing on a wooden decked veranda, dressed in his official robes with a phoenix emblem on his chest, an elaborate bead necklace round his neck and his sceptre of office by his left wrist (the hand is mysteriously lacking). A pavilion can be seen to the rear and beyond the terrace wall are reeds and flowering prunus in a stylised garden setting. The artist has caught the self important majesty of the figure who is perhaps described in the calligraphy inscription to the top right with an artist’s seal stamped in red. Perhaps a portrait but more likely a generic design, this composition probably dates to the early C20th. The frame and mount are, of course, much later but complement the image well and provide an attractive ‘ready to go’ example of Chinese decorative painting.| Size: | 23.2cm x 29.4cm (frame) 17.8cm x 23.8cm (painting) |
