CHINESE HANGING SCROLL PAINTING OF TWO CELESTIAL MAIDENS IN CLOUDS BY YUAN XIN, 1959, 21IN x 71IN

拍品描述

Ink and light color on paper, mounted as a traditional hanging scroll with gold silk brocade border. Depicts two ethereal female figures?likely celestial maidens or Daoist immortals?standing amid stylized clouds. One figure holds a ceremonial spear or halberd adorned with tassels, while both wear flowing robes and classical jewelry rendered in soft tonal shading. The painting is signed vertically?Painted by Yuan Xin?with a red seal below. Housed in its original fitted presentation box bearing calligraphic title inscription and export label reading??Made in the People?s Republic of China,??with faint dated notation consistent with May 1959. The composition reflects mid-20th century academic revivalist technique, characteristic of early PRC decorative and export studio production. The restrained monochrome palette and careful line work evoke earlier traditional models while maintaining a refined, formal presentation. Very good vintage condition. Light age toning to paper consistent with age. Mounting intact. Minor wear to box consistent with storage. No visible major tears or repairs observed under normal inspection. Mid-century Chinese export scrolls from the early PRC period have become increasingly collectible for their craftsmanship, historical context, and decorative appeal. Examples retaining their original box and dated export labels are particularly desirable. Acquired from a Metro Washington DC estate.
