‘ONE HUNDRED CATS’, BY YU ZHIDING
Est: €5,000 - €10,000
‘ONE HUNDRED CATS’, BY YU ZHIDING (1647-1716) Ink and watercolors on silk. A vast and colorful depiction of exactly one hundred cats engaged in various pursuits, such as chasing butterflies or each other, drinking water, climbing a tree, or hiding in unexpected places. Inscriptions: Lower left, signed ‘Guangling Yu Zhiding’ with artist seal and several collector’s seals. Provenance: From an old private collection in southern Germany, assembled between 1970 and 2002, and thence by descent. Condition: Very good condition with only minor wear, minimal creases, stains and soiling, and small losses. Dimensions: Image size 333 x 29.2 cm, Size incl. frame 356 x 38.6 cm With a silk brocade mounting and framed behind glass. Yu Zhiding (1647-1716) was a Chinese painter during the Qing Dynasty (1644–1912) and a native of Jiangdu (present-day Yangzhou) in Jiangsu province. His style name was Shangji and his sobriquet was Shenzai. He served in the Imperial Painting Academy during the reign of the Kangxi Emperor. Expert’s note: For obvious reasons it can never be established with absolute certainty that the present painting is from the own hand of Yu Zhiding. However, given the complex nature of the subject, a considerable number of sketches must have been drawn for preparation. Sketching is a sophisticated process which can take several months, sometimes even years. Most artists use, to a greater or lesser degree, the sketch as a method of recording and working out their ideas. The sketchbooks of some have become well known, including those of Leonardo da Vinci. The remarkably lucid structure in the depiction of the one hundred (!) cats as well as an uncountable number of butterflies, plants, rocks and the like certainly does not come from genius improvisation, but rather from extensive preparatory work. On top of this is the fact that every single cat is shown in a different position and with a different expression, a different character. We find playful cats, hunting cats, caring cats, vicious cats, hidden cats, old and young cats, fat and slim cats, black and tiger cats, to name just a few examples of the sheer endless variety in the subject. Bottom line: It just seems improbable that a painter, capable of creating such a work, would go into hiding and sign it in the name of a different master. Literature comparison: Compare a related but much smaller study of a cat by Yu Zhiding, at China Guardian, in Classical Chinese Paintings and Calligraphy, on 20 June 2018, lot 1111.
