chinese painting

[newcollector]

All i know is that its at least 50 years old, was in a scroll, and is painted by the last Emperor of Chinas cousin. On rice paper looks like a water color painting.

Any idea what year it was done &/or any documentation on it's history ?

I'm curious about it's size , newcollector .


If you've got a blacklight , you can illuminate the center horse & see if the 'white' color there reacts ( kinda like a glow-in-the-dark effect) .
White color might be paint , might be gouache .

guessing size because I havent got to see it out of the frame its probably somewhere in the range of 24x24. It does have documentation but its all in chinese, and its in the frame behind the pic ill see if i can get it out without the fiance noticing

There are 25 examples of Pu Jin's work and the auction prices they sold for on Artnet. A one-day pass subscription is $14. Probably worthwhile to pay the fourteen bucks to get accurate auction info:

I'll see if I can find any pricing on his work elsewhere.
