Finely painted with a noble lady seated in an elaborately crafted wooden chair with gilt fittings and silk brocade back, a table holding a wine cup and an ancient bronze vessel as well as a large vase held by a stand beside her.

Mounted as a hanging scroll.Dimensions: Image size 81 x 35.5 cm, Size incl. mounting 215 x 51 cmExpert's note: Xu Cao was a leading conservative artist in Beijing during the 1930s and 1940s. Some scholars have later described him as possibly the last living proponent of the Imperial School. Xu Cao's zestful brushwork and taste for theatrics were conservative in their references to the past, but wholly modern in the spirit of defiance and abandon they celebrated. This is clearly seen in the present work, with the paper being deliberately 'aged' with simulated wear, a dramatic effect that - like in theater- creates a stark contrast between the actual depiction and the background.Auction result comparison: Compare a closely related painting by Xu Cao, also depicting a lady and parrot, dated 1939 by inscription, at Christie's Hong Kong in Fine Chinese Modern Paintings on 30 May 2017, lot 1297, sold for HKD 150,000. 徐操(1899-1961)《美人鸚鵡》中國。立軸,紙本水墨設色描金。畫中一位仕女坐在絲錦椅背上,身畔桌子上放著酒杯和銅瓶,旁邊的三足架上放著一隻大花瓶。仕女正逗玩著棲息在一個鎏金鞦韆上的鸚鵡。設色精美,人物造型準確,形態逼真,陳設傢俱細節刻畫細緻。款識:新將金巢籠鸚鵡,朝餐多與教來香閣幾行詩,贏得頻開齲齒,小鳥聰明如許,誦來楚之,休將呢語令他知,恐怕人前亂語。霜紅主人燕孫徐操。鈴印:燕孫徐操來源:英國古玩市場,據説來自英國私人收藏。品相:狀況極佳,有輕微舊磨損。 汙漬、褐變和起皮。裝裱立軸。尺寸:畫面81 x 35.5厘米,總215 x 51 厘米拍賣結果比較:比較一件徐操1939年的《美人鸚鵡》,見香港佳士得Fine Chinese Modern Paintings 2017年5月30日 lot 1297, 售價HKD 150,000。

Finely painted with a beautiful lady seated in a chair and wearing long, loose-fitting robes, her right arm resting on a qin on a wooden table and her left holding a white chrysanthemum. The face with a fine expression marked by alert eyes and pursed lips.Provenance: Collection of Henrik Eugen Reuterswaerd, thence by descent to Marina Reuterswaerd.

Reuterswaerd began collecting Chinese art during the golden age of collecting in Europe and was possibly also inspired by his relative C.R. Patrik Reuterswaerd (1885-1963), who was posted as charge d'affaires in Tokyo, Peking, and Shanghai between 1911 and 1914. The present painting is listed in Reuterswaerd's 1921 prenuptial agreement with Ebba Ingeborg Sjoegren.Condition: Good condition with minor old wear, little soiling, expected craquelure, and few minor touchups.

There were wine shops, pleasure boats, and numerous luxury products, and all of these intersected with the rise of the courtesan culture. Beautiful, intelligent, and cultured young women skilled in music, literature, painting, singing, dancing, and conversation became sought after companions for men of means. Portraits of idealized beauties were popular throughout the Qing dynasty. They conjured up the essence of feminine grace and attraction. Some do not represent real persons, but rather a romanticized version of the perfect, ideal woman. This specific genre was originally made for the domestic market only.Auction result comparison: Compare a closely related painting, 66 by 51 cm, also dated to the 19th century, at Christie's Paris in Art d'Asie on 12 June 2019, lot 69, sold for EUR 10,625.

Confucius' teachings and philosophy formed the basis of East Asian culture and society, and continues to remain influential across China and East Asia as of today. His philosophical teachings, called Confucianism, emphasized personal and governmental morality, correctness of social relationships, justice, kindness, and sincerity. Confucianism was part of the Chinese social fabric and way of life. To Confucians, everyday life was the arena of religion. Confucius's principles have commonality with Chinese tradition and belief. With filial piety, he championed strong family loyalty, ancestor veneration, and respect of elders by their children and of husbands by their wives, recommending family as a basis for ideal government. He espoused the well-known principle "Do not do unto others what you do not want done to yourself", the Golden Rule.Literature comparison: Compare a related album leaf depicting Confucius, also dated to the Qing dynasty, in the collection of the British Museum, 1902,0606,0.56.a-v. 清代仿仇英與文徵明《孔子聖跡圖》冊頁中國,十八至十九世紀。絹本水墨設色。十頁,分別描繪了聖人孔子的歷史故事,其中有:問疾圖,賜藥圖,夢奠兩楹圖,在陳絕糧圖,子西阻封圖,刪述六經圖,西狩獲麟圖,天降赤紅圖,接興狂歌圖,子貢盧墓圖。冊頁,硬質封面封底,綾錦裝裱。款識: 仇英,文徵明,嘉靖戊戌 (1538年) 來源:紐約蘇富比,1997年9月22日 lot 60;私人藏家,購於上述拍賣,保存至今。 品相:封面和封底與版心已經脫離,整體狀況極好,只有輕微磨損,少量污漬與小缺損。 尺寸:畫面30.5 x 28.6 厘米,封面 37.2 x 32.2 厘米

AN IMPORTANT THANGKA DEPICTING ZANABAZAR, 19TH CENTURYMongolia. Distemper and gold on cloth. Seated on a low cushion, backed by a bolster and a halo, dressed in heavy robes, holding a vajra in his raised right hand and a ghanta in his lowered left. An offering of peaches stands before him and a group of small vessels on a low table to his right. The background with green hills under a blue sky behind the elaborate curtain painted with floral scroll. Five-character inscription to backside. Provenance: From a Hungarian private collection.Condition: Good condition with only minor wear, little soiling and creasing, and small losses here and there. Possibly minuscule touch-ups.Dimensions: Image size 32 x 21.5 cm, Size incl. frame 44.9 x 34.6 cmMatted and framed behind glass.Jetsun Lobzong Tenpai Gyaltsen (1635-1723), commonly known as Zanabazar, was an important Mongolian religious figure and personal guru to the Kangxi Emperor (1654-1722). The son of Khalkha Tushyetue Khan, leader of the Khalkha Mongols, Zanabazar was at an early age recognized by both the Panchen Lama and Dalai Lama as the reincarnation of the Tibetan lama, Taranatha (1575-1634), and proclaimed the First Jetsundamba, an honorific title. He traveled to Tibet to continue his religious instruction under the powerful Gelugpa lamas before returning to Mongolia in 1651, bringing fifty sculptors and painters with him in an attempt to establish the Gelug order amongst the Mongols. Rather than settle at one established monastery, his portable temples traveled from one oergoeoe (traveling place) to another, in what became known as Da Khuree (Great Circle).During his time as religious leader of the Khalkha Mongols, Zanabazar oversaw a proliferation of Buddhist art in the region. He is especially known for his visualization and design of gilt bronze sculpture, subsequently carried out by master Nepalese bronze casters, which are widely recognized as some of the finest Buddhist bronze sculpture created.In 1691, faced with the threat of the rival Dzungar Mongols, Zanabazar agreed to integrate the Khalkha into the Qing Empire, at a ceremony before the Kangxi Emperor at Dolonnor Monastery. While Zanabazar had previously sent tribute and religious gifts to Kangxi, the formal ceremony solidified the relationship between the two men. In later life, Zanabazar acted as the personal religious teacher to Kangxi in Beijing. With the help of his guru, the Emperor took an increasing interest in Buddhism and established a tradition of Imperial propagation of Buddhist art that continued into the reigns of his son and grandson, the Yongzheng and Qianlong Emperors.Today, Zanabazar is viewed as one of Mongolia's most important historical figures, celebrated for propagating Tibetan Buddhism throughout Mongolia while reshaping it to fit Mongolian sensibilities, thereby establishing for the Mongols a unique cultural identity. His artistic works are generally regarded as the apogee of Mongolian aesthetic development and spawned a cultural renaissance among Mongols in the late 17th century. Even during the country's socialist era (1921-1991) he was acknowledged to be a prominent scholar (his religious roles quietly discarded) and recognized for his artistic and cultural achievements. As a political personality, however, socialist authorities portrayed Zanabazar as a traitor and deceiver of the masses, responsible for the loss of Mongolian sovereignty to the Manchu. In the post socialist era, however, there has been a reevaluation of his image to where his actions in negotiating the Khalkha's submission to the Qing are considered to have been in the long term interests of Mongolia, and he is generally exonerated for his role in 1691.Literature comparison: Compare a related Mongolian thangka of Zanabazar, also dated to the 19th century, in the collection of the Rubin Museum of Art, object number C2006.66.587. 十九世紀哲布尊丹巴呼圖克圖唐卡蒙古。布面描金膠彩。活佛坐在一個矮墊子上,背靠一個靠枕,身後有光背。身著厚重的長袍,舉起的右手拿著金剛杵,低垂的左手拿著金剛杵。 一個桃子供奉在他面前,右邊的一張矮桌上置放著一組小器皿。背景是藍天下的青山,花卉紋窗簾。來源:匈牙利私人收藏。 品相:狀況良好,只有輕微磨損、少量汙漬和起皺,而且到處都有小缺損。輕微修補。 尺寸:畫面32 x 21.5 厘米,總44.9 x 34.6 厘米 玻璃裝框。
