注脚
十八世紀 紫檀框綠漆地嵌寳桃梅圖掛屏For a similar embellished lacquer panel, see the hardstone-inlaid lacquer 'antiques and auspicious fruit' table screen from the Qianlong era sold in our Hong Kong rooms, 28 November 2017, lot 44. As cited there, numerous similar examples are extant in the palace collection. For examples, see The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum: Furniture of the Ming and Qing Dynasties (II), Hong Kong, 2002, nos. 18, 19, 180, 182, and 183; as well as two related hanging panels in the Cuiyun Guan, Hall of Green Cloud, in the Forbidden City, illustrated ibid., no. 262. As the first to bloom in the late winter and early spring, prunus and peach are both associated with the New Year, suggesting the possibility that the present lot could have been part of a larger set of seasonal decorations.
