(14)Didactic images of silk and rice production first appeared in Chinese culture around 1145 with the Southern Song dynasty court painter Lou Shou (1090-1162). Apanied by poetic inscriptions describing the individual steps of production, these imperially sponsored images demonstrated the Emperor's interest in fostering sound agricultural and sericulture practices for these key economic engines and sources of food and clothing for the nation, as well as government revenue through taxation.In the seventeenth century, the Kangxi Emperormissioned the court artist Jiao Bingzhen (fl. 1689-1726) to create a new edition of the Gengzhi tu, which was published as woodblock printed albums in 1696. As a result of the book's wide distribution, the imagery from the 1696 edition soon began appearing in a variety of media, on porcelain vases, lacquer screens, fine embroidery, and paintings, as seen in the present lot.Literatureparison:An album of woodblock prints, with 46 illustrations on the cultivation of grain and silk,missioned by the Kangxi Emperor, dated 1696, is in the British Museum, registration number 1949,0709,0.1.Auction resultparison:Type: Closely relatedAuction: Christie’s New York, 27 January 2014, lot 397Price: USD 7,500 or approx.EUR 8,600 converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writingDescription: A set of six Chinese silk production pictures, 19th centuryExpert remark: Note the similar sizes (23.7 x 24.1 cm) and that the lotprises six album leaves, each with two pictures, four of which are framed.Auction resultparison:Type: Closely relatedAuction: Christie’s London, 14 May 2019, lot 178Price: GBP 11,250 or approx.EUR 14,500 converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writingDescription: Formerly attributed to Jiao Bingzhen (fl. 1689-1726), SericultureExpert remark: Note the size (30.4 x 26.6 cm) and that the lotprises an album of 24 leaves, twelve of which are closely related paintings, the other twelve with calligraphy reproducing the text of the Kangxi Emperor's poems inscribed on Jiao Bingzhen's original paintings.清代《蠶織圖》中國,十八至十九世紀,紙本設色。描繪中國南方蠶織戶養蠶、下蠶、繅絲生產的過程。
