Hauntingly beautiful oil on canvas painting of a young Yemenite girl by Israeli artist William Weintraub (b.1926). The frame probably needs to be replaced. The canvas itself measures 19.75" x 28.75". There is minor paint loss to near the elbow but it does not detract from the overall beauty of this painting. Comes with a vintage "Hang-o-Lite" picture light. American-born, “Sonny” Weintraub was one of Israeli’s best-known young painters of Israelis, Yemenite and Oriental children, as well as old people (including Ben Gurion...

Fine portrait of an imperial 4th rank civil official, elegant colors and refined detail, ink and color on silk, 19th century, conservation framed.

Believing that the departed continue to hold influence over the lives of the living, many Chinese households honor their ancestors in private family rituals, invoking their spirits for long life, health, and prosperity. Commemorative portraits, which came into vogue in the late Ming and Qing dynasties, were commissioned specifically for ancestor worship and were believed to house the spirits of the deceased. When properly cared for, one's ancestors were believed to be a powerful source of honor, protection, and good luck. This pair of ancestor portraits was hand-painted in the late-19th century and beautifully depicts a Qing-dynasty couple. While some ancestral portraits offer a more stylized representation of one's ancestors, this particular pair is painted with incredible realism and life-like expressions. Rather than depict the pair in a regal hall wearing elaborate finery, the couple is shown in a quiet home environment, seated at either end of a square tea table. Their surroundings are minimal, practically undecorated, and they wear simple, matching blue silk robes. Two young children stand beside them, each trying to capture the attention of their grandparent. We love the painting's close attention to detail and the glimpse it offers of Qing-dynasty interiors - from the carved apron of the marble-top table to the red silk lotus slippers...
