A RARE CARVED ZITAN BRUSH POT
LATE 18TH CENTURY
The cylindrical sides finely carved with a continuous landscape scene, with forested cliffs jutting dramatically from the rocky shores of a winding river in which a figure steers his boat towards an open pavilion set on a distant shore, and another figure seated in a boat admires a retreat perched above the water in the distance, all below two lengthy poetic inscriptions in clerical script, one followed by the signature, Ruan Yuan ti (inscribed by Ruan Yuan), and a seal reading, Boyuan fu, the other followed by a seal reading tiesheng, the hao of Xigang
7¼ in. (18.4 cm.) high, wood stand
