The following nine lots were part of the collection of the German officer Carl Fuchs (1870-1953) who travelled extensively across China in the early 1900s in his function as a cartographer for the German government and under the protection of the Chinese emperor. A keen amateur artist, Fuchs documented his travels in a series of drawings and watercolours depicting famous Chinese monuments and sites. Inspired by Chinese art and culture, Fuchs began collecting Chinese antiques and soon assembled a fine collection to which the present group belongs.
