This one reflects a highly romanticised image of the East, explains our decorative arts specialist Victoria Tudor.⠀ .⠀ Depicting two Chinese ladies sitting by the Pearl River, ‘the painting appears to capture for the Western viewer what life was like in China, but it’s clearly very idealised,’ says Tudor.⠀ .⠀ These mirror paintings combined traditional Chinese ink painting with learned Western techniques, reflecting a unique period of cultural exchange.⠀ .⠀ A pair of Chinese export reverse mirror paintings, Qing dynasty, third quarter 18th century. 27 in (68.5 cm) high, 33 in (84 cm) wide, each. Estimate: $50,000–80,000.⠀ .⠀ Lacquer, Jade, Bronze, Ink: The Irving Collection Evening Sale – 20 March at Christie’s New York.⠀ .⠀ @christiesasia #mirror #mirrors #mirrorpainting #painting #chinese #chineseart #decorativeart」3月14日 20時56分
