Chen Shaomei (1909-1954), 'Ladies in the Autumn Forest'. Length: 101 cm (39.76 in); Width: 38 cm (14.96 in). This exquisite painting of a lady is executed in the style of Qiu Ying. A beautiful maiden leans against rocks and meditates under an autumn paulownia tree. The lady has a delicate, gentle facial feature with refined hair styling. Her robes are rendered in orchid-leaf line drawing with smooth, powerful strokes. Fine patterns on garments are meticulously depicted in restrained, elegant hues. The gnarled paulownia branches at the top bear colourful red leaves drifting down to convey the quiet melancholy of autumn. Slender bamboo grows beside dark lake rocks, with light ink washes for grass, creating a simple and ethereal composition. On the right side, there is an artist's running script inscription and two seals. The work blends Qiu Ying's meticulous craft with literati grace. Brushwork is elegant and crisp. Original antique mounting, the paper is well-preserved. It is a representative figure painting by Chen Shaomei.
