[QUOTE="blooey, post: 1548573, member: 12007"]Well fair enough, I do see stains etc on some and I concur it can happen - however, from what I've seen of the type of staining the pattern of damage has been less consistent than what I'm looking at here. It is more the quality of the work though that pushes me away from these being pith - these paintings of Kiko's far exceed the quality of any pith painting I've seen. They are so well executed they may be from one of the Chinnery school students i.e. Lamqua, Tinqua and Youqua et al. Possibly the rarity of such works is the reason I have not seen pith of this quality - that is to say they could indeed be on pith, but whatever they are, these are a particularly valuable pair of Chinese gouaches I would be proud to own.[/QUOTE]
