CHINESE SCHOOL, MINIATURE PORTRAIT OF A PLAYER OF GO, QING DYNASTY .
Rare Chinese miniature portrait, showing a young woman in traditional Qing Dynasty dress, playing Go game. The work is painted on a thick ivory plate. On the back of the ivory, it preserves fragments of Chinese paper and characters, remnants of its original assembly. The ivory plate was later framed in a western wood frame, calledby by nails , on a rigid cardboard, protected by a flat and bullied glass. This frame is unprofessional but looks quite old. We find a similar Lady of our Go player in her traditional pink dress and hairstyle, in a Chinese watercolor (on the left) showing a wedding scene (Qing dynasty era).TECHNIQUE:
