Ruth Waldron Rice Bowl and Peony, 2021 Acrylic and Ink on Paper Collage plus Wax Seal Signed with a wax seal on front and verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) Ruth Waldron is an Irish artist living near Albi, Tarn France. After university she pursued her creative inclinations with a career in Interior Design for 17 years, working in both Ireland and the United Kingdom. In 2009 she moved to Shanghai, China. She spent two years with a Chinese tutor, working in particular on traditional ink and watercolour painting techniques. This disciplined and formal style of painting enriched her art with an exciting new perspective. She has a fascination for the colours and motifs in traditional Chinese and Japanese watercolours. Further to her experience in China she has completed the Creative Visionary Program (2018) with artist Nicholas Wilton. This course enabled Ruth to take her work and practice to a higher level. She now works in a more inquiring and intuitive manner. Ruth has a full time painting practice based at her studio in the south of France. She works on paper, wood board and canvas, using acrylic, watercolour, oil pastels and ink.   Education 1987-1992, Bachelors degree in Classics and Spanish Literature Trinity College Dublin 2009-2011 Private tutor in Chinese painting in Shanghai 2018 Completed The Creative Visionary Program with Nicholas Wilton (California)   Exhibitions   2019 art3f Toulouse, 2019 Art Salon Balma, Toulouse, 2020 Art Exhibition Albi, France.   About the postcard artworks   These postcard paintings are a small, but true representation of my current series which explores my fascination for Asian porcelain and also the use of space and a sense of calm in the traditional painting compositions of Chinese art. I use ink on paper collage elements in my work to add a layered and multi-textured finish to my work, which is as important to me as the subject matter or composition. I am influenced by Asian calligraphy and line which is evident in the collage elements. I try to use complex and multilayered methods to produce work that looks simple, spacious, unfussy and calm.

Salomé Wu Corpses of Stars, 2021 Mixed Media on Paper Signed on verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) "I hope that when people experience my work, they are able to relate to the stories they contain, merging their own subjectivities with the presented narratives. Within this practice, I am particularly drawn to instances of lamentation - I find much of my art bears a common expression of grief and sorrow. However, I would be remiss to erase all joy from my work. Perhaps, instead, these are the poles between which my work oscillates, trying to evoke the power of both harrowing loss and intense joy; I find that the interplay of these feelings prove an opportunity to reflect on what's important, and what to cherish."   Chelsea College of Arts / Camberwell College of Arts 2020 I is Another.

ESTIMATE UPON REQUEST // PLEASE CONTACT THE AUCTION HOUSE // AN IMPORTANT CHINESE SCHOOL, WITH SIGNATURE OF GIUSEPPE CASTIGLIONE ALSO KNOWN AS LANG SHINING 郞世寧 (1688-1766) China, 20th century Portraits of Moyuli (墨玉璃) and Jinchixian (金翅猃), two hounds of the Emperor Qianlong Colours and ink on silk Mounted as a kakemono Inscribed with the signature of Lang Shining to the lower left Inscribed with a calligraphy to the upper right Bearing several red seals, five in total Dimensions (the sole painting): 123,5 x 52 cmProvenance:> Private collection;> Juan Carlos Katzenstein (1925-2018), an Argentinian Diplomat, who was an Ambassador in Beijing, China, from December 6, 1975 to January 2, 1978, and later to the Holy See (Vatican) and to the Sovereign Order of Malta from 1989 to 1991. Notes: Giuseppe Castiglione was an Italian Jesuit brother and missionary in China, where he served as an artist at the imperial court of three emperors - the Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong emperors. He painted in a style that is a fusion of European and Chinese traditions. The hounds have been identified thanks to the "Album of the Ten-Prized Dogs" (十骏犬图), an imperial-commissioned work by the above-mentioned painter housed in the collection of the National Palace Museum, Taipei, Taiwan. The long calligraphy may be roughly read as follows: "Who said that the dogs are only used to bark, while the painter can portray various postures of the dogs, such as running, skipping etc. as they are really fascinating. Written by the Emperor Qianlong in early August 1744". The seals, five in total, may be roughly read as follow:a) "Five blessings in five Dynasties". This seal belongs to Emperor Qianlong aged 70; b) "Shi-Qu". This is the name of a book with many famous paintings, calligraphies and others; c) "Shi-Qu". The second volume of this book; d) "Yang Xin Hall". This painting was collected in that peculiar hall within the Forbidden City; e) "The Emperor will benefit his sons and grand-sons"; We did match three of the seals with the ones listed in BEURDELEY, Cecile and Michel. "Giuseppe Castiglione A Jesuit Painter at the Court of the Chinese Emperors". Lund Humphries London: 1972, pp. 192-193: a) nr. 6:, "Wu-fu-wu-tai-t'ang ku-hsi t'ien-tzu pao", Treasure of the aged Son of Heaven in the Hall of the Five Happiness and the Five Generations; b) nr. 14: "San-hsi-t'ang chieng-sien hsi", Seal of the Hall of the Three Rarities; c) nr. 28: "Yang-hsin-tien chien ts'ang pao", Treasure of the palace of Cultivating Hearts. Juan Carlos Katzenstein probably acquired or was offered this important painting while living in China. He and his family attached a great importance to this scroll and did study it thoroughly. They did present it to different scholars and even managed to have it both the poem and the seals translated into English. This painting is offered at auction with a documentation including notably (but not only) the book "Giuseppe Castiglione a Jesuit Painter at the Court of the Chinese Emperors" by Michel Beurdeley as well as as a few letters and envelopes, one adressed to "Castellgatto II", the residency of Juan Carlos Katzenstein while in Italy.
