Thank you, Rat! I added more photos in response to Mike's response that show the size of the women's face in relationship to a quarter. As you can see the detail is SUPER FINE.

I'm attaching 3 more photos below. Last photo was taken at an angle to show the gold gilt and what appears to be crushed mica or pearl that was mixed into the white paint for the flowers and peaches. Still, very difficult to see in such small format.

I am quite pleased to have acquired an eye for good quality paintings- many thanks to you and the help of other scholars who share in the Forum.

I am quite interested in learning to read the seals, but not knowing how to read Chinese, I wonder if it is even possible. Is there a reference guide? University course?

Let me know if you wish to see any additional photos.

Best, Tim
