Circa 1840
About the Item
An unusually fine and delicate, mid-19th American figural needlepoint showing an idyllic view of frontier life with a young girl reaching up on tiptoes towards a grape-laden vine on a tree bough that her mother is lowering within her reach. A detailed view beyond shows an expansive landscape with a water-mill standing beside a river beneath a clouded blue sky. An elegantly composed and finely-worked piece that breathes a natural and relaxed charm and retains much of its original, organic color.

- 'Geese on a Lake', Chinese scroll, calligraphy, Sumi-e, Song, Yuan DynastyBy Ren RenfaLocated in Santa Cruz, CAChinese School, 20th century; After Ren Renfa (Qinglongzhen, 1255-1328). Signed center right in Chinese with artist chop mark for 'Yueshan Daoren' 月山道人, brush name for Ren Renfa. (Qinglongzhen [now Qingpu, Songjiang, Shanghai Municipality], b.1255; d. 1328). Chinese painter. Under the Yuan dynasty (1279–1368) he became an official, rising to the level of Vice-President of the River Conservation Bureau. He was famous for his paintings of horses, which were much admired by both his Mongol and Chinese patrons. In horse painting he followed in the tradition of the Song-period (960–1279) artist Li Gonglin, which was characterized by use of the ‘iron-wire’ line and a minimum of shading. Ultimately, however, Ren’s style can be traced to the Tang (ad 618–907) painters Yan Liben and Han Gan. Ren’s earliest surviving painting is dated 1280, indicating that he was a mature artist by his mid-twenties. Although he worked as an official under the alien Mongol emperors, he was capable of paintings that incorporated clear political messages. The most famous is Fat and Lean Horses (Beijing, Pal. Mus.), in which, according to his inscription, the fat horse...Category
