| Chinese Ancestor Portraits are a tradition that date back to the 16th century. Painted on large scrolls, they were precious family heirlooms that ensured a family’s continued good fortune. Today, we admire these paintings for their luxurious costumes and sophisticated opulence. Their heritage makes them traditional, their boldness makes them modern and their origins fit with the current trend toward multicultural style.
Gallery C has acquired twelve rare original portraits from the Republic and Qing periods, as well as cultural artifacts including bamboo root teakettles, wooden well buckets, rustic hayforks and other antiquities. Contact the gallery if you should have further questions regarding pricing and availability. |
