Handscrolls like this were sometimes painted by multiple literati artists during social gatherings. The orchid conveys different meanings and was even a subtle way of showing dissent of the rulership of that time. See this work in our newly reinstalled Chinese galleries.

‘Handscrolls are in many ways the most intimate form of Chinese traditional painting' – Elizabeth Hammer, our specialist in Chinese Paintings. ‘When you see a handscroll displayed wide open in a museum it’s actually not the way you are supposed to see it; what you lose is the cinematic unfolding of the composition as you go along.’ Offered in our 'Important Chinese Art from the Fujita Museum' auction on 15 March at Christie’s New York are six handscroll paintings, all owned by Emperor Qianlong (1711-1799) of the Qing Dynasty. #art #handscrolls #scrolls #chinese #painting #chinesepainting #cinematic #emperorqianlong #qing #qingdynasty
