拍品專文

These block-printed panels belong to a panoramic wallpaper pattern first produced in the 1810s and known today as Procession Chinois, though its maker and original title have yet to be identified. From extant examples of the paper, it is apparent that it was produced in both grisaille and sepia versions, depicting a fantastical Chinese landscape across a total of thirty unique panels. Published examples include an extensive group at Still House in Matinecock, Long Island. Another, whose whereabouts are unknown today, was recorded in the Sutton Place townhouse of Anne Morgan, which is now a residence for the sitting United Nations Secretary-General. The pattern was the subject of an exciting discovery in 1994 at the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Draguignan in Var, France, when renovations to the museum's first floor revealed a large installation on a wall that that been hidden for years behind a set of bookcases.
