About the Item

Qin Mian is a beautiful artistic calligraphy in China ink on Xuan paper realized by the Chinese artist Li Zhen in 1938. The year and place of creation "1938, Tea Field" in black ink are present on the left of the scroll. Below, the stamp (made of jade) of the artist in red ink, and the stamp of the tea field in red ink as well. On the higher right, there is the stamp of the city Chang An (today known as Xi'an), an ancient city governed by more than ten Chinese dynasties. This is a unique piece, showing the handwritten sentence "Qin Mian", meaning "study with diligence". In excellent conditions. Xuan paper is very ancient and was used in China for writing and painting. It is famous for the softness and fineness of its texture, ideal for rendering at its best the artistic expression, be it calligraphy or painting, of Chinese artists.The artwork is framed by the Zhuangbiao, a particular framing method for paintings and calligraphy on Xuan or rice paper, of a golden fabric with a dragon pattern, applied on paper.
