Thank you for your help with reading the seal. I could not find any info on the Internet on Xu Jiukun. The painting appears to be of the Qing dynasty, but I would appreciate your thoughts on if you feel it is 18th or 19th c. Do you know anything about this artist?
I found some information on an artist by the name of Xu Baozhuan (1810-1873) who painted women, many from famous Chinese stories and in folio format. However, I do not see a strong similarity in the style of painting between my painting and the examples of Xu Baozhuan's paintings.
Nevertheless, the detail is amazingly fine. So, I decided to take a few more photos with a quarter next to each of the faces for perspective. BEAUTIFUL WORK!
