There is a very similar screen in the M.H. de Young Memorial Museum, San Francisco. A closely related screen from Fountains Hall, Yorkshire, was sold anonymously in these Rooms, 15 November 1990, lot 119, while further comparable landscape front scenes or large Kangxi screens of this type, were sold at Sotheby's New York 10 and 11 April 1986, lot 445, and 28 and 29 September 1989, lot 365, both dated to the Kangxi period, the first one inscribed with the date 1689.
