Subject:Chinese drawings
Posted By: Jeffrey Mann Fri, Mar 09, 2018 IP: 47.152.235.13

I inherited two old Chinese drawings from my Great Aunt. She was a world traveler and an art collector.
These were found in her plan file. I've had them since her death in 1965 and stored them in my plan file, flat and in the dark.
I'm trying to find out information on them. The folder that they were in was labeled "Old Chinese drawings."
She probably acquired them in the late 50's to early 60's.
I think they are painted on silk.

Just a thought, I do not know anything about the website, below, but it shows quite a bit of portrait information. I thought perhaps they might be of help.

Best wishes.

M,
Thanks for the tip. Checked out the site but could not find anything to compare with.
There doesn't seem to be anywhere to upload images for discussion.
Thanks again, I'll continue the search.

Not sure these are Chinese, Korean may be a possibility too
