AN INK ON PAPER HANGING SCROLL OF BAMBOODATED JIHAI YEAR (2019)董寿平（款） 2019年作 墨竹 纸本立轴ESTIMATE: $1,200 – $1,800This elegant hanging scroll presents a scholarly study of bamboo, executed in rhythmic ink monochrome. The composition features tall stalks extending upward, with leaves rendered in swift, calligraphic "dropping-tail" strokes that suggest movement and vitality. The artist utilizes varying shades of ink—from deep charcoal for the foreground stalks to a lighter grey for those in the distance—creating a sense of depth and atmospheric space. Bamboo is a traditional literati subject, symbolizing resilience, integrity, and gentlemanly virtue.The inscription on the right indicates the work was completed on a day in the Jihai year (2019). It bears the signature and seal of the artist, rendered in a bold, vertical script that complements the linear elegance of the bamboo. The minimalist aesthetic and confident brushwork reflect a modern continuation of the classical ink-play tradition.Dimensions Image: 39.5 cm x 70 cm Hanging Scroll: 166 cm x 49 cmCONDITION REPORTThe scroll is in excellent condition.

BUYING AT LESLIE'S Description of Lot: Our description of any lot in the catalogue, any condition report and any other statement made by us (whether orally or in writing) about any lot, including about its nature or condition, artist, period, materials, approximate dimensions, or provenance are our opinion and not to be relied upon as a statement of fact. We do not carry out in-depth research or scientific testing of the sort carried out by professional historians and scholars. All dimensions and weights are approximate only. Condition of Lot: The condition of lots sold in our auctions can vary widely due to factors such as age, previous damage, restoration, repair and wear and tear. The nature of the items means that they are rarely in perfect condition, and a good condition may show minor flaws of the item. Lots are sold as is, in the condition they are in at the time of the sale, without any representation or warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to condition by Leslie's or by the seller. Condition reports are available upon request by phone, fax, email or in person. Condition reports may be available to help you evaluate the condition of a lot. They offer our opinion but they may not refer to all faults, inherent defects, restoration, alteration or adaptation. A condition report is not an alternative to examining a lot in person. It is your responsibility as a purchaser to ensure that you have requested, received and considered any condition report.

The Auctioneers will, upon request, provide names of professional packers and shippers but will not be held responsible for the service or have any liability for providing this information.
