Lot #410: Chinese Ink & Watercolour Plum Blossom & Birds Painting, Signed & Sealed

Traditional Chinese ink and watercolour painting depicting two birds perched among flowering plum blossom branches. Features calligraphic inscription and multiple red artist/seal marks. The inscription includes the classical plum blossom verse “香中別有韻，清極不知寒”, meaning approximately “Within its fragrance is a distinctive grace; so pure that it seems unaware of the cold.” The verse is traditionally attributed to Song dynasty poet Cui Daorong (崔道融) and complements the winter plum blossom subject. Signed with what appears to include the art name 錦亭 (Jinting) and bearing multiple red seals. Presented under glass in a dark wood-tone frame with decorative brass-style hanging fittings. Approx. 36" x 21" framed. Some age-related wear and minor marks to frame and matting. Dimensions: - Pickup category timeslot {A}
