- Lot Description
Rare China Trade Painting of a Tea House
Chinese, ca 1840. Oil on canvas, housed in a lacquer and gilt frame, most likely original, embellished with carved gilt fittings. A large and rare China Trade painting, depicting a tea house adorned with lanterns and a framed landscape, featuring several seated and standing figures, including a young boy attending to a dog in the center, the right side of the composition revealing a lush natural background, unsigned; 30.25 x 41.5 in. (sight).
The painting bears resemblances to the work of Youqua (act. 1840-1880) although this piece may not be definitively attributed. There are several imperceptible inscriptions on verso stretcher.Condition
Relined to masonite, probably in the early 20th century.
Surface grime, heavy craquelure/crazing and flaking of paint in some areas, as well as a few paint losses, mostly located towards the bottom of the painting. A black light examination does reveal a couple of spots of in-painting, the most prominent one located towards the lower left corner and actually visible without the black ligth upon closer examination. There is one pin hole size perforation between the upper center and upper right corner. The frame shows wear as well, consisting mostly of losses to the painted finish and of major losses to the gilt and carved wood foliage decorations affixed to the corners. - Shipping Info
