Re: Ming dynasty Chinese paintings???

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
