Re: 2 Beihong, or not 2 Beihong? That is the question. Authentication on Xu Beihong paintings

Excellent work! Well spotted. One is a copy of the other, or both are copies of a third (perhaps more likely). Xu Beihong did repeat the same content over and over again in various poses (the horses of course, but also magpies, and cats), so I have at this point almost totally lost interest in him, but this is a great comparison. in my view this is NOT Xu Beihong making two different images of the same composition, however, as the two images, calligraphy, and seals are far too similar for the same artist to be repeating as closely as these are. I'm sure that Xu could knock out a dozen of these horses in an hour, but I think that the differences from one to another would be greater than seen here.
