[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 333860, member: 2844"]Chantal, most Chinese paintings are not valuable. Therefore the value of a Chinese painting is rarely in the stamp, but in attractive art. Right now everything about the work looks relatively recent. The 'JS' or 'J5' in the stamp confirms that, and the writing was not given much attention. Just an example of old style calligraphy: [IMG]https://s14-eu5.ixquick.com/cgi-bin/serveimage?url=http%3A%2F%2Ft0.gstatic.com%2Fimages%3Fq%3Dtbn%3AANd9GcSgISBaMwHJ3eX2U73gs97Xe8E-_UhGyR8XeF9BGduoEKXrgXDSAA&sp=f47f95525e9281bfa236cad0c42e9d5b&anticache=265148[/IMG] Zheng Xie, 18th century. You can tell the brush is pushed down on the paper and lifted at just the right moment. We could ask one of our Chinese members, but because of the numerous Chinese translation requests, I really resent doing that for something that may be run of the mill and where a translation of the stamp doesn't add anything to the value. If you don't want to show us the paintings, it is best to take them to an expert in Chinese art in your area.[/QUOTE]
