LATE 19TH/EARLY 20TH CENTURY

A slightly larger (184.4 cm. high) related jade-inset gilt-decorated red lacquer, eight-panel screen is illustrated by Stanley Charles Nott, A Catalogue of Rare Chinese Jade Carvings, Palm Beach Florida, 1940, pp. 60-64. The jade-inset panels are painted with landscape scenes depicting the 'Sixty-Four Islands of Immortal Existence', the flowers of the twelve months, and the four flowers of the four seasons. Another similarly painted jade-inset screen in red lacquer, but with six panels, is in The Avery Brundage Collection, B60J978 and currently on view at the Asian Art Museum, San Francisco.
