I have a large family. Over 200 cousins that I could not count them all. It has been 3 years since I return to Taiwan. There were many wonderful items passed down the family tree. This was one of them.
I am not sure if this was a real painting or a fake one. The dress code was from Manchurian period with a pig tail. Quite a scenic background too. There is a lot of western painting influence for this one.

Impressive background it is.
ReplyDeleteThe technique to paint a waterfall is probably rare in these days
DeleteI wish all families kept their photos, complete with names and dates. The grandchildren will love them.
ReplyDeleteTrue memories. Only when I get older, I start to appreciate family photos more
DeleteThat is a lot of cousins! The painting is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteSomething to stare at
DeleteBig family indeed. :) The painting is very nice, I like the background.
ReplyDeleteRestoration is costly
DeleteThat's a fascinating painting and whether it is a real painting or not real, because it was passed down in your family makes it priceless.
ReplyDeleteFamily core value
DeleteThat's a huge family. I like the painting itself but the figure looks a bit angry.
ReplyDeleteWhat a treasure. Old or not, it's a beautiful painting -- there are stories in that scene. And wonderful to be part of your family.
ReplyDeleteCreo que no llegue ni a la cuarta parte de primos que tienes tu, ya que desconozco los primos de una esposa anterior a mi abuela de mi abuelo materno.
ReplyDeleteEl cuadro me parece impresionantemente bello.
Saludos.
It is a family heirloom, and priceless! Will you hang it somewhere?
ReplyDeleteI love art!! And to have it passed down in family makes it all the more special!
ReplyDeleteThat seems like art with a definite purpose--- to motivate some sort of action.
ReplyDeleteWow, you do have a big family. Beautiful painting. Take care, have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteGreat family and the attitude of the person in the painting is more in the style of communist propaganda of the post-WW II era. Very intimidating.
ReplyDeleteMy family is very small. I don’t have contact with the distant relations that remain.
ReplyDeleteOver 200 cousins is very impressive. I have 14 and no contact to either one anymore (I´m in the middle, age-wise). Art-wise I goo with s.c.!
ReplyDeleteThat's what I'd call a really big family! I love the painting. It's a great family heirloom.
ReplyDelete...family treasures are the best.
ReplyDeleteEs muy bonito. Un beso.
ReplyDeletegreat.... love the background. .....
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful possession to have been handed down. So many family members, wow. That would be such a fun get together. Thank you for sharing at Pictorial Tuesday.
