Subject:Qing Dynasty Silk Painting
Posted By: Chris Mather Tue, Jul 07, 2020 IP: 205.251.233.50 Hi, We acquired this painting from the Qing Dynasty (1762) and wanted to know if this is authentic and/or what the value might be. The size is 27"H x 16"W. Any advice would be appreciated! |

Posted By: I.Nagy Thu, Jul 09, 2020 The inscription on the upper blank part is a panegyric dedication to the painting which according to my understanding depicts Vyasa the Indian sage teaching about the lineage of the next Buddha as it is described in the Vimalakirti Sutra. |

Posted By: rat Fri, Jul 10, 2020 As I.Nagy indicates, this is not an original painting. The original painting on which your picture is based is in the National Palace Museum Taiwan and was painted by Yao Wenhan (who was copying a Song original). A photo of it is in 故宮書畫圖錄, vol. 13, p. 375. That painting includes a different array of (fewer) seals than yours and lacks the Qianlong emperor's inscription, which I think must have been photoshopped into an image of the NPM painting along with the airborne flower from another source, before the resulting collage was color-printed. |
