Subject:scroll identification
Posted By: Dan Mon, Jan 25, 2016 IP: 74.94.76.97
I would appreciate any help in identifying and valuing this scroll, it was given to me by the grandson of Ensign Frank Pulver who was played by Jack Lemmon in the 1955 movie "Mister Roberts" and by Robert Walker Jr in the 1964 movie "Ensign Pulver" the scroll is approximately 7' 6" long and about 20" wide, I have also attached some pictures, if you can't help me could you steer me in the right direction for finding the value and other info on this scroll.

Thank you,
Dan Welty

Hi Dan, thanks for sending me the pictures offline. This is a good quality reproduction print of a painting in the collection of the National Palace Museum, Taiwan (the former Chinese imperial collection).

Here is a link to the painting from the NPM website for the curious: http://www.npm.gov.tw/exh99/flower/img_27.html

The painter of the original was named Chen Shu, a woman who lived between 1660 and 1736. Few female painters' work was in the imperial collection. This picture was painted to commemorate Chinese new year in 1735. The seal belongs to the Jiaqing emperor, who reigned between 1796 and 1820, so the painting entered the imperial collection no later than 1820.

The label and the mounting indicate that your scroll almost certainly was purchased from the NPM gift shop. I feel certain you could realize $150 if you wanted to sell it, perhaps double that amount.
