Lot #17: Pair of Asian Hanging Scroll Paintings – Bamboo, Plum & Winter Mountain Landscape

Pair of Japanese (kakemono) or traditional Chinese-style hanging scroll artworks, each with calligraphic inscriptions and red seal marks. One depicts bamboo, pine and red plum blossoms, traditionally associated with the “Three Friends of Winter,” rendered in expressive black ink with touches of pale blue and vivid red. The inscription appears to include 三友圖, meaning approximately “Picture of the Three Friends.” The second depicts a finely detailed winter mountain landscape, with snow-covered trees, architectural elements and a small mounted traveller beneath an umbrella. The prominent inscription appears to read 冬景瑞雪, approximately “Winter Scene / Auspicious Snow.” Additional artist-style calligraphy and a red seal appear beneath. Both are mounted in traditional hanging-scroll format with patterned fabric borders, wooden rollers and hanging ribbons.
