Inscriptions: To the painting, upper left, inscribed ‘Lianchao jushi Pan Gongshou’, dated ‘on a summer day in the Year of Wuwu in the Jiaqing era’ (corresponding to 1798), and inscribed ‘in the style of Gao Fangshan’ (Gao Kegong, 1248-1310); two seals of the artist, ‘gong’ and ‘shou’. Lower right, two seals. To the mounting, to the left beside the painting, inscribed by Wu Yun (1811-1883), ‘The exquisite brushwork by Lianchao Jushi [Pan Gongshou] is attributed to the yipin class.

It is really an exceptional painting. Written on a summer day in Jilong shanlu’; two seals. The scroll with an old label, inscribed ‘Pan Gongshou, Landscape, Authentic’. Provenance: Collection of W. W. Winkworth, 1966. The Oliver Impey Collection of Modern Paintings, acquired from the above. William ‘Billy’ Wilberforce Winkworth (1897-1991) was a legendary collector of Asian art. The Oriental Ceramic Society was founded at his father's home in 1921. After military service in World War I, he joined the British Museum in 1922 under R. L. Hobson in the Department of Ceramics, leaving in 1926 to become a full-time collector and 'marchand amateur'. Between around 1948 and 1970 he was a part-time cataloger at Sotheby’s, working on Japanese netsuke, lacquer, and sword fittings. He was famous for his eye and range of connoisseurship, especially in ceramics, and exercised a great influence on his generation of British collectors. Oliver Impey (1936-2005) was the President of the Oriental Ceramics Society (1997-2000), a noted curator at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, and a leading authority on the arts of Japan. He studied at the University of Oxford, completing his thesis while working in London at Sotheby's, where his connoisseurship and remarkable breadth of knowledge began to develop, as well as his intimate knowledge of the art trade and vigilant eye for a bargain. In 1967, he was appointed Assistant Keeper for Japanese Art at the Ashmolean, and was able, as a Sotheby's colleague put it rather bluntly, to move “straight from the whorehouse to the nunnery”. For nearly four decades, Impey was a tireless acquirer of fine objects, vastly expanding the Museum's holdings. He designed and raised the funds for a new Japanese Decorative Arts gallery to house these treasures and he also befriended several generous benefactors, who made important donations to the Museum. The respect with which he was held in Japan was marked by the award of the Koyama Fujio Memorial Prize in 1997. His personal collection contained works by major masters from Japan, China, and several other Asian countries, of which many were sold by Christie’s in Hong Kong in the late 2000s. Condition: Very good condition with minor wear and soiling. The mounting with some wear, creases, and minor losses. Dimensions: Image size 61 x 31.5 cm, Size incl. mounting 216 x 45.7 cm Pan Gongshou (1741-1794), also known as Lianchao, was born in Dantu, near today’s Zhenjiang, Jiangsu province. He was a painter, seal carver and poet, famous for his landscapes, figural motifs, and still lifes. Many of his paintings depict poetic inscriptions, and Pan is also known to have collaborated with other calligraphers such as Wang Wenzhi. His works can be found in the collection of the National Art Museum of China, among many other museums. Expert’s note: The present painting is notable for its appreciative post-mortem inscription by Pan Gongshou’s frequent collaborator Wang Wenzhi (1730-1802), which has a posthumous dating of 1798. The superior quality of the painting, as further attested to by the numerous laudatory collectors’ inscriptions to the mounting, as well as the old and illustrious Winkworth and Impey provenances, leave absolutely no doubt as to the authenticity of the painting.

Hobson，1926年離職，成為一名全職收藏家和“業餘商人”。大約在 1948 年至 1970 年間，他在蘇富比拍賣行擔任兼職編目員，從事日本根付、漆器和刀劍配件的研究。他以其眼光和鑑賞範圍而聞名，尤其是在陶瓷方面，對他那一代的英國收藏家產生了巨大影響。Oliver Impey (1936-2005) 曾任東方陶瓷學會會長（1997-2000），牛津阿什莫林博物館著名策展人以及日本藝術領域的權威。 他曾就讀於牛津大學，在倫敦蘇富比工作期間完成了論文。在蘇富比，他的鑑賞力和非凡的知識得以發展，以及他對藝術貿易的深入了解和對交易的警惕眼光。1967 年，他被任命為阿什莫林日本藝術助理管理員。在近四十年的時間裡，Impey 孜孜不倦地收購精美物品，極大地擴大了博物館的藏品。他為一個新的日本裝飾藝術藝廊設計並籌集了資金來收藏這些珍品。他還結交了幾位慷慨的捐助者，他們為博物館提供了重要的捐贈。他在日本受到的尊重並於1997 年獲得小山富士夫紀念獎。他的個人收藏包括日本、中國和其他幾個亞洲國家的主要大師的作品，其中許多作品於2000年後期香港佳士得拍賣會上售出。 品相：狀況極好，有輕微磨損和污漬。裝幀有一些磨損、摺痕和輕微損失。 尺寸：畫面61 x 31.5 厘米，總45.7 厘米 潘恭壽（1741-1794），字蓮巢，生於今江蘇鎮江附近的丹徒。 善人物、仕女、竹石圖，晚年喜刻印章，傳世畫跡有藏於中國美術館的《煙雲閣圖》軸等。 拍賣結果比較： 形制：相近 拍賣：上海朵雲軒，2020年11月30年，lot 1027 落槌價格： EUR 25,437 (在Artprice顯示的金額) 描述：潘恭壽1784年《五老圖》 專家評論：請注意尺寸(88 x 48釐米)，以及相似的風格和數個不同的題字。
