Watercolor and ink on silk, hanging scroll, featuring mountainous landscape, signed and attr. Qiu Ying (Chinese, 1494-1552), inscribed with 1 artist seal, 60 x 26 cm, Chinese painter noted for his gongbi brush technique, used to produce highly detailed figure and architectural paintings and flower studies. Qiu did not pursue the other characteristic arts and activities of the man of letters that Chinese critics believed were marks of a great painter, but he earned critics’ respect for the dexterity, representational skill, and refinement of feeling evident in his paintings.
