Dear Specialist, I am writing to request a professional appraisal for a Chinese ink and color landscape painting in my private collection. Below are the details of the artwork: Artist: Wu Guan (吳冠, Art name: Qing An 靑庵) Title: Autumn Mountain Landscape with Calligraphy Date of Creation: Mid-Spring, 1982 (Renxu Year) Place of Origin: Suzhou, China (Inscribed as '寫在蘇州') Dimensions: 130 cm x 68 cm (Approx. 51.2 x 26.8 inches / 8 Pincun) Medium: Ink and color on paper My Assessment: Based on my analysis of the inscriptions and the specific artist's seals ("Wu Guan" and "Qing An"), it is my assessment that this work is an authentic piece created during the artist’s active period in Suzhou in the early 1980s. The painting demonstrates a high level of skill in the traditional "Wu School" style, harmonizing classical poetry with a serene mountain landscape. Condition: The piece has been well-preserved in a private collection in South Korea. The paper and pigments are in good condition without significant aging or damage. I have attached high-resolution images of the full painting, the calligraphy, and the artist's seals for your review. I look forward to hearing your professional opinion regarding its historical value and estimated market price. Sincerely, SANG JUNE
Approx. 51.2 x 26.8 inches (130 x 68 cm) (8 Pincun)
