Subject:Identifying Chinese or Korean antique screen remnant?
Posted By: Kristine Wed, Jul 23, 2014 IP: 50.138.227.50
Could anyone identify the origin, period, etc. of this painting? It was purchased 25 years ago from the recently-closed Hurst Gallery of ethnographic art in Cambridge, Mass.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I think this is indeed Korean, but shows the two dragons and five divinities said by the Shi Ji to have materialized over Confucius's home at his birth in 551BC. See the following links:

I can't make out the painter's name from the seals very clearly, perhaps 李漢x (surname is Lee/Li).

Thank you so much!

Do you have any thoughts about how old this piece is?
