Lot details China, 1850-1949. Ink and watercolors on fabric. One painting with two chrysanthemums borne on leafy stems, one white and the second reddish black. The other painting similarly executed with a single yellow chrysanthemum. Note the highly detailed, naturalistic manner of painting, strikingly capturing the complexity of the flowers.

Each painting mounted and framed. Dimensions: Image size 32.3 x 31 cm (each), Size incl. frame 51.5 x 51 cm (each) Expert’s note: The present lot belongs to a group of complex floral still life paintings which became popular toward the later Qing dynasty during the second half of the 19th century (see auction result comparison), combining a naturalistic treatment with dramatic rendering of the subject, a distinct departure from the more stylized yet restrained flower depictions of earlier times.
