About the Item

Chinese School (likely 19th c.), ink, watercolor and gouache on laid paper, apparently mounted on backing sheet, no signature or mark detected, framed under glass. A traditional Chinese artwork on paper depicting a historical scene. The artwork features figures in traditional attire, with a central focus on a red palanquin (a covered sedan chair carried by bearers), suggesting the transportation of a high-status individual. The scene is set against a backdrop of lush, mountainous landscapes, with pine trees enhancing the natural ambiance. The watercolor's subtle use of color and linework reflects classical Chinese artistic techniques. The figures' clothing and the palanquin's design indicate that this scene may portray individuals from the Ming or Qing dynasty period, which could situate the artwork stylistically in the 18th or 19th century. The presence of a framing label from The Jansen Art Studio, New York, suggests that the piece has undergone in the mid-20th century.
