including Buyer's Premium
China. Ink and watercolors on silk, in a silk brocade mounting and laid down on paper. Depicting three chicks on grassy ground amid two flowering chrysanthemums.
Inscriptions: The inscription reading ‘written in the fifth month in the year of Dingchou Qianlong period (1757), Nanping Shen Quan 76’.
Provenance: From the collection of Dr. David Ho (1911-1986), and thence by descent within the family. Dr. David Ho (Chinese name Ho Hangchi) was born in Guangzhou in 1911. His father was a well-known dentist in Nanjing who counted Chiang Kai-shek among his patients. Dr. Ho was a legal officer at the United Nations in New York from 1949 until his retirement in 1971. Interested in Chinese history and art, Dr. Ho was particularly fascinated by objects that were inscribed. His extensive archive suggests that it was during his time in New York that he began collecting and researching Chinese artifacts.
Condition: Good condition with some old wear, minor creasing with associated old repairs, small losses here and there.
Dimensions: Image size 60.2 x 35.5 cm, Size incl. mounting 86.8 x 47.5 cm
Shen Quan (ca. 1682-1760) was active during the Qing dynasty and painted in the Ming academic style. Shen was very influential in Japan, inspiring an entire school of painting, the Nanping School, which flourished in Nagasaki during the Edo period and was named after the artist’s courtesy name.
