(Petits accidents et manques). Chine, dynastie Qing, fin du XIXe siècle. Dim. 203 x 277 x 53 cm, D. 79 15/16 x 109 x 20 7/8 in. A rare eight-fold carved, lacquered and inlaid wood screen, China, Qing dynasty, end of the 19th century.

    Notes:
  • Commentaire : Alors qu'elles sont attestées dès le XVIIe siècle, les pierres de rêve connurent en Chine une vogue inégalée au tournant du XIXe siècle quand un lettré célèbre, Ruan Yuan (1764-1849), les collectionna et y fit apposer sceaux et colophons leur conférant la dignité de véritables peintures dont il dressa et publia l'inventaire. Ainsi, n'y a-t-il rien d'étonnant à ce qu'elles soient connues, depuis lors, sous le nom de "peintures de pierre".
