This is an exceptionally rare format for a Chinese painted book. Please see the color scans posted to our website to understand the format. . This two-volume set is lovely.

The work is delicately and beautifully executed with skilled Maobi [brush] work. . * THE ARTIST: QI CHANGE [1773-1828]: He was a Qing Dynasty painter and Shanghai artist from the "Songjiang" district. His work is subtle, relaxed and reflects the kinds of birds and flowers found in that area. He was famous and friends with and respected by place celebrities, such as Wang Qisun, Li Ting & Li Junjia. QI was most likely an ethnic Hui. . See below reference for full details of his genre. . * REFERENCE: The artist is cited in BAIDU: Seller Inventory # 29017901
