Fan Zeng is a cultural figure excelling in poetry, calligraphy, and painting, having served as a lifelong professor at Nankai University's College of Arts and several other prestigious institutions. He has been the director of the Institute of Chinese Painting at Peking University and holds various esteemed positions in the field of art and culture. In 1984, the Fan Zeng Art Museum was established in Okayama Prefecture. Regarded as a genius in figure painting, Fan Zeng is internationally acclaimed as one of the three masters in poetry, calligraphy, and painting. His museum is known for its extensive collection and is called a 'phantom museum' as it opens only for three days a year. He was awarded the title of "Cultural Advisor for Multiculturalism" by UNESCO. This listing features the piece titled "Meicha Zu," which illustrates a scene of an elderly man and two boys enjoying tea, with the character "Fan" inscribed on the lantern in the background, representing the artist's surname. The phrase "寒夜客来茶当酒" is a famous line from the Song Dynasty poet Du Rui. Size: 105x57cm. Please refer to the photographs carefully before placing your bid. As I am not a professional scholar or appraiser, the title, description, and category are based on my opinion. Given its vintage nature, please expect some wear or damage. Items such as shelves, stands, or lighters shown in images are not included in the auction, they are for reference only. Color variations may occur between images and the actual item due to lighting conditions during photography. Please bid carefully after reviewing the images, with no claims or returns accepted. For items marked as "genuine" and "guaranteed genuine," if they are found to be not authentic, I will refund the winning bid amount, shipping, and transfer fees. The guarantee period is set at 15 days. (Note: This does not include assessments from galleries or art dealers. Please provide a certificate of authenticity from a recognized appraisal institution.) Any fees for appraisals, travel, and other expenses incurred during the evaluation must be borne by the winning bidder. There may be artworks marked as genuine for which there are no public appraisal institutions. For such pieces, I assess their authenticity based on my experience. Returns will not be accepted for the lack of public appraisal institutions, so please verify before bidding.
