Marvel at the ingenuity and skill of this Qing Dynasty scroll as we bring to life a masterpiece revered by artists and collectors for hundreds of years. As the centrepiece of our ‘Fine Classical Chinese Paintings’ (8 October | Hong Kong) pre-sale exhibition, Sotheby’s will unveil this precious and prized treasure to the public for the first time in over a century. Part of an original monumental work comprising 12 scrolls, Scroll VI of ‘The Kangxi Emperor’s Southern Inspection Tour’ was cut into seven fragments and separated in the early 20^th century. Now, thanks to the zeal of a determined collector, the fragments have been reunited and the scroll can once again be seen as intended.
