The Property of a Lady

Provenance
a distinguished Italian private collection
formed circa 1930s-1940s, and thence by
descent

The important Italian collector lived and
worked in Shanghai between 1932 and 1936,
as representative of his Italian company
and in 1937, following the Sino-Japanese
war, was transferred to Dalian in Southern
Manchuria. After a brief period spent in Italy in
1938, he returned to Shanghai where he lived
between 1939 and 1940. He then moved
to Beijing where he lived between 1941 and
1946 and formed the vast majority of his
collection of Chinese Art.
