拍品資料及來源
Due to the contribution of Professor and painter Joseph Inguimberty and the assistance of Victor Tardieu and Evariste Jonchère, the Vietnamese artists of the School of Fine Arts in Hanoi have produced noteworthy lacquer screens between 1925 and 1945. Ultimately, they elevated this decorative artistry to the level of fine art.
The present lot portrays a magnificent image of the last emperor of Vietnam, Bao Dai, surrounded by an entourage of soldiers, civil mandarins and servants. The people standing in the sprawling palatial grounds dutifully face towards the emperor, who is the focal point of the work. The screen reveals the luxurious court life in the emperor’s palace in Hue, one that was reserved for rulers and their wives and concubines.
