China: 'Figures, Flowers and Landscapes'. The artist drowns his sorrows in wine. Album of eleven leaves, by Chen Hongshou (1598-1652) and Chen Zi (1634-1711), 17th century

Chen Hongshou (1598 - 1652), courtesy name Zhanghou and pseudonym Laolian, was a Chinese painter from Zhuji who lived during the late Ming Dynasty era. Chen trained under the famed artist Lan Ying, and developed a plump and profound brushwork style that lent itself to illustrations and tapestry portraits.

Chen Zi (1634 - 1713), also from Zhuji, was the son of Chen Hongshou and a renowned artist in his own right.
