A top quality Chinese porcelain dish/brush washer with, Qing Dynasty
Of shallow conical form with pronounced foot ring, painted with a scene of Wang Xizhi and a boy contemplating a goose on a village path.
14cm dia.

This plate illustrates the story of Wang Xizhi (  303 – 361), the calligraphy master of legendary fame and a practitioner of Daoist alchemy, who was said to derive inspiration from natural forms such as the graceful neck movements of geese. In creating a dreamlike evocation of antiquity, the artist prevented a realistic reading of his picture space as a way of asserting the disjuncture he felt after the fall of the Song royal house.

It is marked with a 4 character mark at the base.
