<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mmarco102, post: 409343, member: 8289&quot;]Picked this up with two others(not related) from a sale today.</p><p>He seemed to be an artist from the late 19th early 20th that found favor with the European and Americans collectors after the St Louis Worlds Fair. He depicted chinese living and had a store in Beijing. Image&nbsp; 10”H 12”W</p><p><br /></p><p>I found this one online that is in the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Second row down.</p><p><a href="http://www.philamuseum.org/collections/results.html?searchTxt=&amp;bSuggest=1&amp;searchNameID=61492" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.philamuseum.org/collections/results.html?searchTxt=&amp;bSuggest=1&amp;searchNameID=61492" rel="nofollow">http://www.philamuseum.org/collections/results.html?searchTxt=&amp;bSuggest=1&amp;searchNameID=61492</a></p><p><br /></p><p>There are absolute variances both in color choice and design. Mine is not a print. The signature matches and you can notice the texture of the paper. This is a Goddess that prayer to, would give you a son(translated from left). I think the actual artistic workmanship is better in my item then the museums. </p><p><br /></p><p>Do you think it is possible that he made several of the same subject, just with variations, as he was not commissioned by any formal means? Or could mine be a good rendition ill signed?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]142518[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]142519[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]142520[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]142522[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
