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

Found some more info a few days ago....

I am posting comparision images of my painting of horse & tree and a near identical painting sold by Art Curial in France for about $103,000.

Here's a link to Art Curial's auction record:
http://www.artcurial.com/en/asp/fullCatalogue.asp?salelot=2111+++++158+&refno=10375650

The size, signature, and seal are identical, with only very minor differences in the manner of the horse and tree. Preovenance given on the Art Curial painting is that it was purchased in Pekin in 1983 and has been in a private colletion up until the sale - this seems more than coincidental that my painting was frame in 1983-84, the same period in which the Art Curial painting was purchased.

I read that Xu Beihong exhibited extensively around the world from 1938-1943 in order to raise money for Chinese soldiers injured during their war with Japan.

During this prolific period of painting, would this explain duplicate paintings, where he (like many artists do) painted the same scene more than once (especially if it was a popular among art buyers)?

Thoughts?
