Description:
CHINESE SCHOOL (CIRCA 1850), A Chinese scholar in his study, oil on canvas on board, 45 x 34.5 cm, Note: Several versions exist of Chinese export paintings of the 'Scholar in his Study', however the prominent display of a crucifix is unusual, and this painting was likely commissioned by a European missionary in Macau or Canton, a rare visual link to early Christianity in China.
