Subject:Chinese scroll info
Posted By: Jeffrey Leach Sat, Jan 19, 2008 IP: 24.15.149.122 I have a Chinese scroll that I would like any information or insight that I can get. This scroll was presented to a U.S. electric utility in 1985 by then Vice-Premier of China Li Peng. I am including 3 photos. Photo #1 is the entire painted area of the scroll, photo #2 is the writing on the scroll, and photo 3# is what I believe to be the artist's mark. This scroll is sealed in a glass case and photography was very difficult so please forgive the poor photography and the reflections in the glass. Any comments, translations, or suggestions for other resources where I might gain info regarding this scroll are greatly appreciated. Thanks |

Posted By: hallo84 Tue, Jan 22, 2008 Most likely a very good reproduction of the real thing. Personally I don't think Li Peng would bring something this valuable and present it as a gift. The rule is anything older than Qian Long doesn't leave the country. But then again he's the vice premier so who knows... |

Posted By: Jeffrey Leach Fri, Jan 25, 2008 Thank you for your comments and insight. I would tend to agree with the value aspect. I have no pipe dreams of becoming wealthy overnight. Although I do not think this is some ancient work of art, I also do not believe the Chinese delegation that presented it ran out to walmart to pick it up either. I am curious as to what part gave you your information. I have very limited resources and am unable to find any info regarding "Xue Ju" or "Sun Ke Hong". Is it the caligraphy that divulges the info or the chop mark? I'm curious as to exactly what the caligraphy says. Please forgive my ignorance. If this is a copy of something done by a Ming dynasty artist, perhaps there is some record of the original that I could look up to get more info. |

Posted By: hallo Mon, Jan 28, 2008 The writing on the painting said "written by Xue Ju Ke Hong on some autumn day" (Written means painted in the context of writing nature. The expression is used before the republic era, since then we now see modern expressions of painted by. Surprisingly a lot of modern repo can be spotted this way.) The calligraphy style is consistent with the artist in question. The chop mark read "Xue Ju". All consistent with Sun Ke Hong. |
