Subject:small silk paintings
Posted By: Carlos Fri, Sep 12, 2014 IP: 72.80.72.32
I have what appears to be four old, small Chinese on silk paintings, with no seal or signature. It has proven to be difficult to research. They measure 4 and 3/8 inches by 2 and 6/8 inches.

Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Carlos

these seem to be genre scenes for the tourist market but perhaps some decades old and of decent quality, yet not meant as fine art. can you post closeups of the other three scenes? without a signature it will be impossible to identify the artist, and even with an identifiable signature biographical material on the painter is going to be very hard to find.

Thanks for your reply. I will later post images of the other three images.

Thanks for sharing these photos. I don't see further clues about the origins of your group of four, but if you can post clearer closeups of the seals we should be able to help a bit with their legends.

These are the other three small silk paintings. I'm hoping you can shed some light on these.

I'm going to post two more Chinese silk paintings. I've had these for some time. These two have seals.
