周樂元款 玻璃内畫山水人物鼻煙壺ProvenanceChristie's, 9 December 1994, lot 505來源Christie's, 1994年12月9日, 拍品編號505This is an extremely unuusal subject matter and stylistically does not follow the usual style of Zhou Leyuan or his studio. It does however appear to date from the same period around the 1880-90's. The application of the paint however is first class and the subjects are painted with great facility. It may be the early work of another artist that still had to find his stride and thus used the signature of a more famous artist.
