Message Thanks for the info. These classical Confusian scenes are really tough to determine their age....especially given how little I know of their history. It sort of looked to me that the painting had some age to it prior to its framing, which is why I thought it might be Ming period, but I guess that was wishful thinking. On a side question... Are you familiar with other popular Confusian themes used in paintings? My reason for asking is that I just bought a Chinese fan painting with a rather interesting scene of an old man (teacher/scholar?) sleeping at his desk...meantime his young male students are sneaking out of the classroom to play - except for one student. I'd appreciate knowing your thoughts. The piece has writing and a signature - you can view the painting if you look for my most recent posting on the message board. Best, Tim Post a Response |
