Utagawa Kuniyoshi [1798-1861], an oban tate-e portrait of the famous Emperor Go-Daigo loyalist, Kusunoki Masashige from the Warrior series Meiko Hyaku Yuden; published by Izumiya IchibeiCompare another example of this print in the British Museum, No. 2008.3037.15307Kusunoki Masashige [1294-1336] found fame as a loyal defender of the Emperor Go-Daigo during the tumultuous years of the Nanbokucho period in the 14th Century. Masahige's opposition to the power of the Ashikaga Shoguns found fertile ground during the Meiji Restoration, and a huge, bronze equestrian figure of him was placed close to Tokyo's Babasaki Gate in 1900 ['Meiji Revisited'/The sites of Victorian Japan' by Dallas Finn/page 162 refers]. Kuniyoshi's design with a compass and globe is interesting; Henri Joly mentions a netsuke of Kusunoki in the Gilbertson Collection, carved with Kusunoki holding a Mariner's compass ['Legend in Japanese Art'/page 309, refers]. Although there was a significant market for Kuniyoshi's historical portraits, the Bakufu were highly sensitive regarding images that could be interpreted as critical of the Tokugawa regime. Kuniyoshi's triptych of Raiko and the Earth Spider, for instance, precipitated a confrontation with the Bakufu censors, and Kuniyoshi was forced to destroy the offending blocks in order to avoid further trouble [Source: page 114 of 'Japanese Prints/Ukiyo-e in Edo, 1700-1900' by Ellis Tinios, British Museum Press, 2010.]Condition Report: Left hand side visibly trimmed.

Theodore Schrire (1906-1991) attained his MA at the University of Cape Town, where he also received the medal in physiology in 1925. He worked as a general surgeon in private practice and was attached to the department of surgery at the University of Cape Town Medical School under Professor Saint. In 1955 he was awarded the Hamilton-Bailey medal of the Medical Association of South Africa. He later worked as the assistant editor of the South African Medical Journal, where he published numerous papers and edited two books, Emergencies: Casualty Organization and Treatment (1962), and Surgical Emergencies: Diagnoses and Management (1972). After retirement, he pursued his passions and became a respected collector of Chinese works of art, Netsuke, maps of Africa, Palestine and Judaica, and a variety of literary works.

It is in this guise that Samantabhadra is revered as the patron bodhisattva of the monasteries associated with Mount Emei in western China. Some believe that the white elephant mount of Samantabhadra was the same elephant that appeared to Queen Maya, the mother of the Buddha, to herald his birth.Literature comparison: Compare a related blue and sancai glazed roof tile of a figure astride an elephant, 27.2 cm high, also dated to the Ming dynasty, in the collection of the Syracuse University Art Museum, object number 2001.0026.Auction result comparison:Type: Closely relatedAuction: Christie's New York, 15 September 2016, lot 844Price: USD 25,000 or approx.

It is really an exceptional painting. Written on a summer day in Jilong shanlu'; two seals. The scroll with an old label, inscribed 'Pan Gongshou, Landscape, Authentic'.Provenance: Collection of W. W. Winkworth, 1966. The Oliver Impey Collection of Modern Paintings, acquired from the above. William 'Billy' Wilberforce Winkworth (1897-1991) was a legendary collector of Asian art. The Oriental Ceramic Society was founded at his father's home in 1921. After military service in World War I, he joined the British Museum in 1922 under R. L. Hobson in the Department of Ceramics, leaving in 1926 to become a full-time collector and 'marchand amateur'. Between around 1948 and 1970 he was a part-time cataloger at Sotheby's, working on Japanese netsuke, lacquer, and sword fittings. He was famous for his eye and range of connoisseurship, especially in ceramics, and exercised a great influence on his generation of British collectors. Oliver Impey (1936-2005) was the President of the Oriental Ceramics Society (1997-2000), a noted curator at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, and a leading authority on the arts of Japan. He studied at the University of Oxford, completing his thesis while working in London at Sotheby's, where his connoisseurship and remarkable breadth of knowledge began to develop, as well as his intimate knowledge of the art trade and vigilant eye for a bargain. In 1967, he was appointed Assistant Keeper for Japanese Art at the Ashmolean, and was able, as a Sotheby's colleague put it rather bluntly, to move “straight from the whorehouse to the nunnery”. For nearly four decades, Impey was a tireless acquirer of fine objects, vastly expanding the Museum's holdings. He designed and raised the funds for a new Japanese Decorative Arts gallery to house these treasures and he also befriended several generous benefactors, who made important donations to the Museum. The respect with which he was held in Japan was marked by the award of the Koyama Fujio Memorial Prize in 1997. His personal collection contained works by major masters from Japan, China, and several other Asian countries, of which many were sold by Christie's in Hong Kong in the late 2000s. Condition: Very good condition with minor wear and soiling. The mounting with some wear, creases, and minor losses.Dimensions: Image size 61 x 31.5 cm, Size incl. mounting 216 x 45.7 cmPan Gongshou (1741-1794), also known as Lianchao, was born in Dantu, near today's Zhenjiang, Jiangsu province. He was a painter, seal carver and poet, famous for his landscapes, figural motifs, and still lifes. Many of his paintings depict poetic inscriptions, and Pan is also known to have collaborated with other calligraphers such as Wang Wenzhi. His works can be found in the collection of the National Art Museum of China, among many other museums.Expert's note: The present painting is notable for its appreciative post-mortem inscription by Pan Gongshou's frequent collaborator Wang Wenzhi (1730-1802), which has a posthumous dating of 1798. The superior quality of the painting, as further attested to by the numerous laudatory collectors' inscriptions to the mounting, as well as the old and illustrious Winkworth and Impey provenances, leave absolutely no doubt as to the authenticity of the painting.Auction result comparison:Type: RelatedAuction: Duo Yun Xuan, Shanghai, 30 November 2020, lot 1027Hammer price: EUR 25,437 (converted by Artprice at the time of writing)Description: Pan Gongshou (1741-1794), Landscape (1784), watercolor and ink on silkExpert remark: Note the size (88 x 48 cm), the similar style and the numerous inscriptions潘恭壽(1741-1794)《摹高房山筆》中國，紙本設色，掛軸。峻岩怪石突兀而立，雜樹挺立濃郁，水閣依山臨水，近景一漁夫讀作江舟。境界幽美，深厚蒼渾。 款識：摹高房山筆嘉慶戊午夏日，蓮巢居士潘恭壽 ；鈴印：恭，壽蓮巢居士蓮巢居士筆法精妙，？為逸品。此幅仿高房山，尤屬出神之？也。乙亥小春愉庭吳雲？；鈴印：平齋審定潘恭壽字慎夫，號蓮巢，丹徒籍，？？文畫宗文衡山（文徵明1470-1559）署題，都傳王夢樓（王文治 1730-1802）此幀模高尚書而自署。？誠真妙昌也。丁酉夏日貽汾題於雞籠山麓；鈴印：雨生 來源：W.
