PAN YING (b.1962) YUNNAN LADY/ THE THINKER. Ink and colour on paper. Seal of the artist. 66 cm x 43.5 cm The artist portrays a demurely elegant lady dressed in traditional Yunnan costume leaning on the fence, with her chin resting on a clenched fist, gazing down and inward, thinking deeply, as if reflecting on her life experience, triggering the viewer's imagination and curiosity. An ethnic Manchu, Pan Ying graduated from the Art Institute of the People's Liberation Army in 1983, specializing in traditional Chinese painting. She is now on the staff of the Fine Arts Department of the Central University for Nationalities in Beijing. In her most mature works Pan paints with the traditional gongbi technique strips and ribbons of white material arranged in endless monochrome combinations that spiral and intersect on the surface of the painting. Using a traditionally high artistic idiom, therefore, Pan Ying provides a description of practices generally classified as belonging to 'handicrafts' and thus regarded as 'low'. Still the representation of what for centuries was classified as menial is replayed with elegant minimalist effects, reminiscent of drawing and etching, that bestow the coiling movement of the thread with an abstract formal beauty. Pan Ying has participated in many exhibitions both nationally and internationally, including: 'Century-Woman' in Beijing (1998); 'Die Hälfte des Himmels' (Half of the Sky) at the Frauenmuseum in Bonn (1998); and 'On This Side of the Sky: UNESCO Salutes Women' in Art in Paris (2003). Provenance: Directly from the artist herself in the 1990s. Provenance: Directly from the artist himself in the 1990's

A FINE AND IMPORTANT EARLY ALBUM FROM FELICE BEATO`S STUDIO IN JAPAN, DOCUMENTING THE ANGLO-CHINESE OPIUM WAR, HONG KONG HARBOUR, PEKING, YOKOHAMA AND YEDO.

V, 1917, pp.76-77; T Girtin and D Loshak, The Art of Thomas Girtin, London 1954, p.208/Note: This watercolour, among the largest in existence by Thomas Girtin, was shown at the Royal Academy in 1798, a fruit of his tour of Devon in 1797. It was bought by the Cheapside linen-draper and keen antiquarian James Moore, one of Girtin's earliest patrons, descending in the Moore-Miller family until sold at Christie's in 1916./From 1791 to 1795 Girtin worked for Moore, translating his pencil drawings of gothic cathedrals and monuments into more sophisticated watercolours. Girtin based his first important Royal Academy watercolour of 1794, Ely Cathedral (Ashmolean Museum, Oxford), on a drawing by Moore. The following year he showed at the RA his first independent watercolours of medieval cathedral façades, Peterborough Cathedral and Lichfield Cathedral./The interior of Exeter Cathedral reflects Girtin's interest in the sublimity of gothic architecture, an interest paralleled in contemporaneous watercolours by Turner. The play of light on the intricate interior is achieved by means of broad, translucent watercolour washes in blues, greys and buff, with delicate details added over them in a deeper brown with a fine brush tip. Girtin on his 1797 tour experimented with the use of Chinese white (gouache) highlights, evident here in the sunlit ribs of the nave and the east window. The radical playwright James Holcroft, who met Girtin in Paris in 1802, commented that the artist 'delighted in and had studied the Gothic'. The present watercolour, rare in Girtin's work in showing the interior of a building, invokes both the soaring grace and the monumentality of these testaments to Faith./Our thanks go to Susan Morris for confirming the attribution of the painting and writing the footnote/see illustration Condition Report: The paper has gone a little brown and the white shows up more than intended other wise in good condition

A scroll painting of a horse, by Xu Bei-hong (1895-1953) the horse freely depicted in grey and black wash prancing with its front hooves raised. Signed to the bottom right Bei -Hong painted with free mind (referring to the extempore style of painting) with a red seal Jiang-nan bu-yi [ the Buyei people of Jiang-nan ]. Xu Bei-hong was in important artist in Chinese modern art movement who excelled in both Chinese ink painting and Western oil painting. Educated in China during his youth, he then studied painting and drawing in London and Paris followed by years of travelling in Western Europe. Xu was greatly influenced by Western Art and tried to advocate the learrning of its techniques by contempoary Chinese artists. His hallmark was the use of expressive Chinese brushwork combined with a Western perspective and the present painting is a good example of this.

A Chinese scroll painting depicting Ladies and a Child in the Gong-bi style, signed Qiu Ying, probably nineteenth century the composition depicting three ladies and a child by a river bank with plantain leaves and bamboo, signed Qiu-Ying at the bottom left. The painting resembles the detailed and refined style of Qiu Ying (1498-1552) who was one of the four masters of painting in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) who specialized in the Gong-bi and Bai-maio (plain drawing or outline) style of female figure painting. Although the piece is signed Qiu Ying at the bottom, a later date, probably towards the end of the Qing dynasty, is more likely. Delicate female figures accompanied by a young child became a popular theme in the representation of women from the Ming dynasty onwards. After Qiu Ying it was traditional to represent women as slim shouldered and reserved. " Fine condition with a good silk scroll mount. View on auctionatrium.com
