Posted By: rat Wed, May 12, 2021 The painting is pretty good quality, but to me the color and modeling make it unlikely to be by Pan Zhengyong, the painter whose name is signed to it. He died in 1921, which would make the cyclical date of this picture 1873, when he would have been 19 or so. |

Posted By: rat Thu, Jun 10, 2021 Yes I think your points are all fair. The signature and handwriting seem to compare pretty well to this Sotheby's example, for instance (https://www.sothebys.com/en/auctions/ecatalogue/2014/fine-classical-chinese-paintings-n09117/lot.696.html), but looking through this group of pictures attributed to him I don't see anything terribly similar, so not sure whether this painting may be ok as an early work or what: http://www.gg-art.com/auctiondoc/index/index/keywords/%E6%BD%98%E6%8C%AF%E9%95%9B |
