Bonhams has sold several plaques bearing the signature of Wang Dafan. The best show a precision and cleverness hinted at by the plaque in the present lot bearing his signature. See for example the reclining inebriated Li Bo depicted in lot 8354 offered in our San Francisco sale 21033 17 December 2013. The plaque here bearing the signature of Wang Qi does also share several key similarities to other polychrome enameled plaques sold as by his hand.
