This is an extremely fine pair of antique Chinese gouache paintings on pith paper displayed inside silk covered mounts within narrow black frames. The paintings are believed to date from the early to mid 19th century with the framing probably dating a little later in the late 19th or early 20th century.

The paintings depict the Emperor Daoguang (1782 - 1850) who was the seventh Emperor of the Qing Dynasty and ruled from 1820 to 1850. The first painting shows the Emperor standing in an elaborate robe decorated with dragons among clouds, while the second shows him seated on a throne wearing another dragon robe and holding a jade sceptre.

Dimensions:
Standing Emperor - frame 26.7 x 17.7 cm mount window 16.5 x 8.5 cm
Seated Emperor - frame 26.5 x 19.2 cm mount window 16.5 x 10 cm

Condition: These are fine paintings but as is typically the case with these old pith paintings there are splits and warping of the paper. Frames show some age-related surface marks and scratches.
