Catalogue Note
The present paintings are in the style of fan-paintings created for the Song dynasty court. The example including figures in a pavilion is reminiscent of other works featuring small, elegant figures at various pursuits within garden pavilions. The second work was inspired by the 'Bird and Flower' paintings which had become an important subject in their own right during the Song dynasty.
