About the Item
A portrait of two young girls by the Royal Portraitist Chen Yanning.
Both the artist as well as the sitters of this magnificent portrait are from racial minorities. It's a sweet images with the two young sisters looking cheerfully at the viewer, with sparkling eyes and a big smile on their faces. They seem to be thrilled and excited to be posing for their portrait together. For the occasion, they are wearing two matching and exquiste dresses with embroidered white collars and adorned their hair with a white ribbon. The quality of the portrait is truly outstanding, it almost looks like a photograph and it has a very joyful and peaceful aura. The portrait is housed in an opulent antique gilt frame with floral details.
Chen Yanning is a very esteemed painter. His paintings have been acquired by major museums and have been displayed in exhibitions at the Guggenheim Museum, the Paris Salon, and many others around the world including Australia, Japan, Canada and Brazil. In 1999, he was commissioned to execute a formal portrait of her royal highness Queen Elizabeth II in Buckingham Palace in the United Kingdom. Yanning's portrait of Queen Elizabeth II was so beautiful and liked that it was then selected as postage stamp to celebrated the Queen's Golden Jubilee in 2002.
Several paintings from Yanning have already realised 6-figure auction prices, with the most expensive auctioned work being "New Wave" which sold for 754,124 euro (incl. premium) on December 3rd 2011.
