Subject:What are these Chinese paintings?
Posted By: Mark Tue, Jan 17, 2017 IP: 49.197.33.184

I have acquired 2 x Chinese paintings in old frames - they are 2.5M x 1M approx each. I can't find any signatures on them. Can someone tell me what they are? When are they from? What are they worth? ect ect thanks in advance.

not ancestor paintings despite the superficial similarity, these instead are contemporary versions of Qing imperial portraits, such as those of the young Qianlong emperor and his primary wives by the Jesuit painter Giuseppe Castiglione, eg:

or this portrait of the Kangxi emperor:
