Subject:chinese painting subject and age
Posted By: yurike Sun, Feb 07, 2016 IP: 173.69.179.177
good evening forum...
I had posted these 2 paintings in 2009 but had no replies. Thought I would relist and see if anyone new may have any info about subject matter and age on these paintings I received from my parents estate. 1 has a rather odd red stamp in the upper left corner. Thank you for your replies.

I would assume that the two paintings are cut from a single handscroll but for the fact that the direction of movement seems different in both. This one seems like it might portray Ge Hong moving his household (with the movement toward the left). The other one clearly shows a parting but I don't know of any such stories showing and adult and child as seems to be the case there (movement toward the right). There is nothing wrong with the seal, though I can't read the first character. Its form is uncommon but totally ok. I think I have seen seals in this shape carved in both stone and materials such as bamboo or horn. Seems like a 19th century work to me.

Rat.. thank you for your reply. Do you think the red seal could be an artist seal?
