Landscape painting with calligraph Ink on paper, album leaves, signed dated 1916, with two seals of artis Translation of the poems inside of the album:

1. Standing in the quietness of the mountains in springtime Although frost still covers the grass new sho are coming soon Suddenly the lig shining through the forest and the moment of spring is here.

2 Getting intoxicated when enjoying the drinking, laughing while without worrying The time shared with a friend but now he is far away and only letters can be read

3. The two pine trees straight to the heaven, and the roots down to the deep earth Only the ‘earthen dragon’ will know the height of the trees

4 The only person in the world who knows about the dragon is he daring to defy him The two cypresses are facing each other, as solemn as giants, and the dragon is singing in the wind and rain, and the mountain is standing in the snow and frost

5 The night rain on Xiaoxiang river, the dark sky, the rain flying fast, my boat floating and all seems so surreal Xiaoxiang river moving as strong as a dragon, and dark clouds cover the mountain

6 The ears are already familiar with the sounds of the rivers and lakes, life is full of passions but also worries. White hair is full of grey at mid-night when the moon light shines

END OF SALE

Glossary of Cataloguing Terms

Dore and Rees team members are always pleased to discuss individual lots with prospective purchasers prior to the auction, you are welcome to request condition reports If you require clarification of any terms used in the catalogue please be in touch. We are pleased to discuss lots which may have been altered, repaired, or restored. The term basically used in conjunction with a date (ie basically 18th century) indicates that, in our opinion, the item may have undergone restoration, repair, or alteration It also indicates that only an element of the piece may date from the period stated in the description. The absence of the term basically does not imply that an item is without restoration, repair, or alteration The use of inverted comas around a word or phrase (i e “pearl”) indicates that the piece, or object, may not be what it is purporting to be (i.e. a simulated pearl). If you are in doubt, our specialists are available prior to the auction to offer guidance and advice

For Chinese ceramics and works of art, if the catalogue states that the object in question bears a mark, but it does not state “and of the period” it indicates that we believe the lot in question may not date from the period suggested by the mark Clearly, references to the colour of jade are subjective and again buyers are advised to personally inspect items on which they intend to bid to ensure the colour meets with their expectation

Care is taken to ensure that any statement as to authorship, attribution, origin, date and provenance is reliable and accurate, but all such statements of opinion are not to be taken as statement or representations of fact Dore and Rees reserve the right, in forming their opinion, to consult and rely upon any expert or authority reasonably considered by them to be reliable

Descriptions of property in this catalogue do not always indicate condition, repair or damage Buyers are earnestly advised to inspect personally any lot they intend to purchase. Weights and measurements are approximate and should be verified by intending purchasers

Paintings, Drawings and Prints

A work catalogued with the forename(s) and surname or recognised designation of an artist is, in our opinion, a work by the artist, e g JOHN NASH

Attributed to JOHN NASH – in our opinion, a work of the period of the artist which may be in whole or in part the work of the artist

Studio of JOHN NASH – in our opinion, a work by an unknown hand, which may have been executed in the studio of the artist

Circle of JOHN NASH – in our opinion, a work from the period of the artist and showing his influence.

Follower of JOHN NASH – in our opinion, a work executed in the style but probably not necessarily by a pupil.

Manner of JOHN NASH – in our opinion, a work executed in the style of the artist but of a later date

After JOHN NASH – in our opinion, a copy of any date after a work by the artist

Signed/inscribed/dated JOHN NASH – in our opinion, the work has been signed/inscribed/dated by the artist

Jewellery

Bears signature/inscription/date JOHN NASH – in our opinion, the signature/inscription/date are probably not by the hand of the artist

The addition of a question mark after any of the cataloguing terms in the above glossary indicates an element of doubt

The term 'ascribed to' may in certain cases be used to denote a traditional attribution based on style

A work catalogued as 'School' accompanied by the name of a place or country and a date mean that in our opinion the work was executed at that time and in that location, e g Italian School, circa 1800

All reference to signatures, inscriptions and dates refer to the present state of work, i e as at the time of inspection for the purpose of cataloguing

The use of inverted comas around the name of an artist, or date, in connection with a signature, or inscription (ie signed “John Nash”) indicates that the signature, or inscription, may have been added by another hand

The contents of any gemmological certificates accompanying lots in this sale are not guaranteed by Dore and Rees and we cannot be held responsible for any disagreement over the contents of the certificates after the sale, or for a retrospective change in opinion by the certificate issuer All weights and measurements provided are approximate only Prospective purchasers should assume that all coloured stones sold by Dore and Rees have been treated unless otherwise stated to the contrary in the catalogue description Stones are commonly treated to enhance their colour and clarity Sapphires and rubies are commonly heat treated and emeralds commonly oiled Jade/jadeite is often bleached, polymer/resin filled or dyed.

Please contact Dore and Rees for more clarification on treatment in individual lots Items containing rubies or jade/jadeite of Burmese origin are not permitted for import by the USA
