Lot description

This is a work after Li Shan. Li Shan (1686 - 1762) was a painter and calligrapher of the Qing dynasty. He once painted for the imperial court and later served as magistrate of Teng County. Known for his clean and simple governance, he was dismissed from office after offending senior officials. He subsequently made a living by selling his paintings in Yangzhou and was one of the celebrated “Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou.” 52 in. x 36.1/2 in. overall.
