Provenance: By direct descent of Katherine Talati. Born in 1922 in Beijing Katherine received private painting lessons with Prince Pu Quan,(great grandson of the Emperor Daoguang) from 1945 until her departure to London in 1948. Her paintings are evidence of her fully accomplished technical skills in Chinese painting after having studied with Pu Quan and various teachers in Beijing prior to her departure.
