[QUOTE="clutteredcloset49, post: 102167, member: 85"]Interesting article. I'm reading it while I'm tired so may have misinterpreted. The question that kept popping in my head while I was reading this. How did the Chinese get their hands on the original to copy it? We're talking late 1700s, early 1800s that the Chinese are doing reverse paintings, Correct? If a portrait was commissioned, wouldn't whoever commissioned it have it in their possession? Are they going to ship it by boat to China for copying? What did I miss?[/QUOTE]
