A PAIR OF SATIN SILK EMBROIDERED 'QUAILS' PANELS
19TH CENTURY
Both panels are finely embroidered on an ivory-white ground with inscriptions to the left. One panel is worked with a pair of quails below a large branch of peonies, beside an inscription containing the pseudonym of an artist, 'Qiu qu nv li'; the other depicts five little quails below rockwork and blue iris, with an inscription which may be translated as 'embroidered by Wan Yaoshan in the Studio of Prunus and Stream, during autumn of the cyclical year of Yisi' (Yisi year corresponds to 1845).
13 in. x 17 7/8 in. (33 x 45.5 cm), hongmu frames
