Li Yizhao, acquired in Beijing in the early 20th century (by repute)
Rendered on a deep-blue paper, first outlined in black ink then filled with gilt paint of various tones, the painting depicts a sal tree between rocks, below four imperial inscriptions written by the Emperor Qianlong dedicated to the Sixth Panchen Lama from right to left in Chinese, Tibetan, Manchu and Mongolian, each followed by a circular seal, Qian, and a square seal, Long. A further seal, guxi tianzi zhi bao, ‘Treasure of the Son of Heaven at seventy‘, is inscribed between the branches, with two further seals on the lower right, yuhe qiyou, ‘Extending like harmonious qi’, yijing miao kanhui, ‘Quietude makes the mystery fathomable‘, one to the lower left, shebi ouzhi jijian, ‘Dabbling in brushwork at occasional leisure’, with a further three-character seal impression on the far lower left corner, Gong qinwang, ‘Prince Kung’. The painting is mounted in its original format within a gilt woven blue-ground border.
