Firstly you will notice that yes, it is cracked into a few pieces, which of course is disappointing and devalues it somewhat, HOWEVER the actual painting is so intricately detailed, colourful and quite pleasant, that from a distance can still be appreciated as the cracks become far less visible if your not standing closely to it. I have tried to find out more about the story behind the painting but am yet to unearth anything. From what I have researched, a genuine painting of this kind, and with this much detail, with no damaged glass could be quite a valuable piece. I am hoping that someone with some knowledge of Asian art will stumble across this post as I would be very interested in clarifying a few things... As follows: 1) is it an original, authentic piece? 2) assuming it is original and still in one piece, what would be its estimated value? 3) assuming it is original, and such a wonderful painting, what would it be worth in its current conditon? 4) what is the story/meaning behind the painting and of what era or dynasty is it significant to? Just to clarify, it is definately hand painted as you can see in one of the photos I’ve uploaded, and I would like to think that it’s an original piece as it’s so well detailed and ‘feels’ genuine, but I also know how replicas can be quite deceiving so I’m 50/50 on it at the moment and hopefully we can learn more about it. Many thanks[ATTACH=full]179780[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]179781[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
