Published & Exhibited: Martin Gregory, London, Treaty Port Scenes: Historical Pictures by Chinese and Western Artists, 1750-1950, 2008, p. 94, no. 83.

China, Chinese School, c. 1800-1820. Oil on canvas, mounted on canvas coated board. Set in a finely carved and gold-lacquered frame. Painted with an evocative summer landscape with a lake extending into the sunlit distance beneath high clouds and swallows, a farmer harrowing the paddy fields with his water buffalo by its shore, with further figures on the bridge and the footpath as well as the open windows of a house, a sampan moored in the reeds at the edge of the lake.

Provenance: Martin Gregory, London. Collection of John le Carré, acquired from the above and thence by descent. David John Moore Cornwell (1931-2020), better known by his pen name John le Carré, was an English author, best known for his espionage novels, many of which were successfully adapted for film or television. A sophisticated, morally ambiguous writer, he is considered one of the greatest novelists of the postwar era. During the 1950s and 1960s he worked for both the Security Service (MI5) and the Secret Intelligence Service (MI6). He first arrived in Hong Kong in the spring of 1974, spending time in the fabled Foreign Correspondents' Club (FCC). His experiences in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia greatly informed his masterpiece The Honourable Schoolboy (1977).
Condition: Expected minor craquelure and soiling here and there. Professionally restored areas, mostly in the background. The frame in very good condition with minor wear, small chips and losses to edges.

Dimensions: Image size 64 x 106.5 cm, Size incl. frame 74.7 x 117 cm
