Subject:Help in Identify Unsigned Woodblock Print
Posted By: Lance Frazer Fri, Sep 09, 2016 IP: 67.187.170.37 I would appreciate any and all help in identifying this unsigned woodblock print. It is approx. 18 by 10 inches, nicely framed behind UV-protectant glass. I can find no signature, and an image search yields no results. Many thanks in advance. |

Posted By: rat Sun, Sep 11, 2016 should be a painting rather than a woodblock, a decorative picture imitating a portrait of a Chinese civil servant, which were in turn used as models for portraits of ordinary peoples' ancestors, but this is near new and made for the tourist market I would think, the artist will be nearly impossible to identify. |

Posted By: Lance Frazer Sun, Sep 11, 2016 Here are photos of the two artist seals, along with another painting (signed), which was presented with the first as a pair. The seals are not in great shape, but perhaps the more learned members can make something of them. |

Posted By: Bill H Mon, Sep 12, 2016 This probably isn't a woodblock print, rather a 20th century or subsequently produced watercolor or "gouache" painting in the manner of an ancestral or imperial portrait, but in a reduced size and economical style of brushwork typical of art mills that flourish around the corners wherever tourists shop in the neighborhood of China. |
