Lot 1021 Yuan Dynasty Blue and White Qiu Chuji Meets Genghis Khan's Character Story Plum Vase
Specification: H: 44.2cm D: 5.5cm B: 13cm
Starting price: 60000000 QAR
Transaction price: 72000000 QAR
Collection Description: The blue and white Qiu Chuji saw the story of Genghis Khan in a plum vase, with the abdominal theme decorated with Qiu Chuji's story of Genghis Khan. The auxiliary decorations include miscellaneous treasures, tangled branch lotus, and lotus petal patterns. Although there are multiple levels of decoration, the main and secondary are clear, complex but not chaotic, and integrated. The allusion of decorative patterns originated from Qiu Chuji's successive refusal of political invitations from rulers of the Jin Dynasty and Southern Song Dynasty. However, at the age of 74, he accepted the invitation of Genghis Khan and trekked tens of thousands of miles, heading west to the snowy mountains (now within Afghanistan) to camp and meet the Mongol Khan. The status and political influence of this exercise of Qiu Chuji have been greatly enhanced. In the military camp of Genghis Khan's Western Expedition, Qiu Chuji spent several months with him day and night, repeatedly discussing with him and promoting the ideas of "eliminating violence and killing" and "benefiting the world and the people", enabling the general public to live and work in peace and contentment, which had a certain impact on Genghis Khan's thinking. In today's world, there are very few surviving Yuan blue and white porcelain, and Yuan blue and white porcelain with historical stories as decorative themes is difficult to draw and burn, making it invaluable.

Specification: 128.5 × 76.3cm
Starting price: 49000000 QAR
Transaction price: 55000000 QAR
Collection Description: The composition of this painting is no longer the main focus, and the two tall ancient cypresses are even more eye-catching. The cypress tree is an evergreen tree that is green all year round, especially in winter. It has become a representative of fighting against cold and snow, fearless of wind and frost, and firm and upright, known as the longest tree. Under the ancient cypress, two horses bent down to search for food, exuding a graceful and tranquil demeanor, exuding a sense of transcendence. As Xu Zhongnian said, Xu Beihong, like him, immediately avoids vulgarity and represents the soul of Beihong the most. Xu Beihong's borrowing of horses to express emotions and emotions, these two horses are outlined with lines, but they do not lose all solid contours. They are only roughly outlined at the back, belly, legs, and neck of the horse, with a focus on volume and block shape; The mane and tail of the horse are painted with calligraphy to enhance the ethereal and dynamic spirit; The swaying grass has no hooves, adding a touch of humor to the scene.
Lot 2093 Qing Dynasty Qianlong Lang Shining painted the "Joyful Picture of Yuanmingyuan in December of Yongzheng" (Twelve Blocks)
Specification: Specification: 40 × 70cm × twelve
Starting price: 80000000 QAR
Transaction price: 80000000 QAR
Collection Description: This set of panel paintings consists of twelve pieces, depicting the scene of Yongzheng and his children sharing the joy of family in the Old Summer Palace through enamel painting. The content is presented over a period of twelve months, with grand scenes, characters and buildings seamlessly integrated, and delicate paintings without any mistakes. The board painting has a pure white and firm texture, a tight structure, delicate like jade, and a creamy and moist glaze that emits a solemn and elegant royal atmosphere. The processing method with a ginger yellow tone as the main theme boldly conveys the concept held by emperors throughout history that "under the sky, there is nothing but royal soil". All of this demonstrates the basic characteristics possessed by the imperial kilns of the Qing Dynasty. The twelve enamel colored porcelain panel paintings showcase the scenery of the Old Summer Palace, giving us a glimpse of its former true appearance that has disappeared. The invasion of the Eight Nation Alliance made it impossible for the Old Summer Palace to revive again. However, people can appreciate the greatness of ancient Chinese horticultural engineering through this set of porcelain paintings. The classic architecture in the Old Summer Palace may be forever preserved in the minds of Chinese people. (Note: Comes with a mahogany frame at the back)
Lot 2164 Wang Hui's Scroll of Tang Poetry
Specification: 42.5 × 505cm
Starting price: 44000000 QAR
Transaction price: 45000000 QAR
Collection Description: This picture by Wang Hui depicts the scenery of Jiangnan. At first, the plain forest is clear and open, with continuous slopes and peaks, shallow sand and distant water, and distant sky and sunset. Between the slopes, the winding path leads to the gradual rise of the mountains, and the village houses are reflected among the lush trees. On the path, people and riders come and go, and at the end of the blue stream, there are crows returning to gather. In the evening mist, the hills and ridges are steep, layered with ravines and rocks, meandering with a majestic momentum. During this time, the trees and pine trees are lush, and the mountain temples are secluded. Beneath them, the lotus flowers send incense, and the plain fields are far apart. The great river and the green mountains are far away but never see their end. At the end, it ended with a sunset and intentionally brought peace to the environment. I wrote it in Gengyin, which was in the 49th year of Kangxi's reign, and Shigu was 79 years old. At that time, the world was peaceful, and Shigu was also known as Zhennei. The world and mentality can be seen in the painting. In its postscript, it claims to be "conceptualizing management, feeling a sense of harmony and freedom between the wrists, and those who appreciate it should be able to calm down.". It can be seen from his leisurely painting and his contentment after painting. After the scroll, Chen Shifan praised him for "using the pen of the Yuan Dynasty to write Tang Dynasty poetry, expressing the lack of substance and spirit, and not lacking in its true interest." He also praised him for "being outstanding and refined in his ink techniques, even though he imitated the various systems of the camp and hills, it was almost not an exaggeration." However, compared to Li Cheng, he said that using the pen and ink of the Yuan Dynasty to write the hills and valleys of the Northern Song Dynasty was "appropriate to call it a god." Chen's evaluation of the essence is not lacking. This volume is recorded in the "Continuation of Shiqu Treasure Collection" and is an old relic of the Qing Palace. It was later carried by Puyi to the puppet Manchuria and scattered among the people. Perfectly preserved, it is the most exquisite product in Shigu paintings.
