1896年 葉仲三 琥珀內畫牧童騎牛圖鼻煙壺
Provenance 來源:
According to the family, acquired by Hans Goldstein probably between 1948-1981 and thence by descent
據說由Hans Goldstein或於1948至1981年間購得，並由家族繼承
Ye Zhongsan (active circa 1892-1943), was born in Beijing in 1869. As demonstrated in the present lot, he was influenced by the Zhou Leyuan Beijing school of painting. In accordance to Zhou's school of painting, the rock formation is the centre-piece, revered for being immutable and lasting - a symbol of longevity. Similarly, the imagery of a boy riding water buffalo is also derived from Zhou.
Compare two related inside-painted amber snuff bottles by Ye Zhongsan, decorated with rockwork and auspicious objects in the National Palace Museum, Taipei, one dated by inscription to the 18th year of Guangxu, corresponding to 1892, illustrated in Lifting the Spirit and Body: The Art and Culture of Snuff Bottles, Shanghai, 2012, pp.264-265, no.IV-057.
葉仲三1869年生於北京，活躍於1892至1943年，為著名的內畫壺高手，其畫風受周樂元影響。
