Peach, Qi Baishi

A traditional ink-wash of two frolicking squirrels in pine trees by master Qi Baishi (1863-1957) is the highlight of Rongbaozhai's Spring Auction.

Horse under the Tree, Xu Beihong

Another highlight is the ink-wash painting "Horse under the Tree" by Xu Beihong (1895-1953), another master famous for depicting horses. It was painted in 1943 when he was at the height of his powers.

The two works are among nearly 1,000 works to go under the hammer at the end of June in Shanghai. Items include ink-wash, oils, calligraphy, jewelry, and various art objects and antiques.
