Chinese Painting is one of the world\'s oldest continuous artistic traditions, characterised by expressive brushwork, harmonious composition and the integration of painting, poetry and calligraphy. Traditionally executed on silk or Xuan paper using ink and mineral pigments, subjects commonly include landscapes, birds, flowers, scholars and scenes from nature. Antique Chinese paintings are often presented as hanging or hand scrolls and may feature artist seals and inscriptions that contribute to their authenticity and historical significance.
