    • A FINE CHINESE PAINTING OF AN EAGLE, HANGING SCROLL, EARLY 17TH CENTURY, ANONYMOUS, AFTER WEN TONG (1019-1079), FRAMED
      Aug. 31, 2017

      A FINE CHINESE PAINTING OF AN EAGLE, HANGING SCROLL, EARLY 17TH CENTURY, ANONYMOUS, AFTER WEN TONG (1019-1079), FRAMED

      Est: $5,000 - $8,000

      A FINE CHINESE PAINTING OF AN EAGLE, HANGING SCROLL, EARLY 17TH CENTURY, ANONYMOUS, AFTER WEN TONG (1019-1079), FRAMED The eagle is perched standing alone on a mountain peak, the calligraphy to the upper right, translation, 'painted by Wen Tong, an eagle stands alone'. The monochrome ink palette, suggestive of symbolising the integrity of a principled Confucian scholar, the painting measuring 160cm x 103cm PROVENANCE: Ex Collection of Connoisseur and Collector, the British Heiress Lady Ann Juliet Dorothea Maud Tadgell, formerly Lady Juliet de Chair, Somerset; Purchased from Michael Leach Gallery, London, 1986 OTHER NOTES: The eagle in Chinese art represents boldness and the character 'ying' is homophonous with the word for hero. The popular depiction in painting of an eagle standing alone, is a rebus for 'yingxiong duli', meaning 'a hero who stands alone is peerless'. It alludes to a poem from the Yuan dynasty referring to the scholar-officials who were not willing to bow to foreign rulers, even at the cost of their political advancement.
