content: Colonel Henry Bathurst Hanna (1839-1914) was an officer in the British military and a collector of Indian paintings. Born in Petersfield, Hampshire, England, Hanna’s family later moved to London, where he was baptized in 1851. Beginning in 1857, Hanna served as a commissioned officer in the Indian Army and retired with the rank of Colonel in 1889. After his retirement, he resided in London and Petersfield with his younger sisters. According to Hanna, he began collecting Indian paintings around the time of the Indian Rebellion (1857-1859).

content: Formerly attributed to Wu Daozi (傳)吳道子 (active ca. 710-760)

content: The subject of this painting, Pindola Bharadvaja (Binduluo Boluoduoshe), was one of the Buddha's main disciples. He was a vigouous exponent of the Buddhist Law (dharma), and has manifested himself on several occasions to pious Chinese believers. Pindola has a voice like a lion's roar, and is often depicted with extraordinarily long eyebrows, a physical attribute for which he is sometimes named Changmai seng. Pindola was one of the first arhats to be depicted in China, and is the only luohan afforded special worship. He is said to dwell with eleven-hundred luohan protogees in the Western Continent of Apara-godaniya (Xi Qutuoni zhou).

content: In this portrait, Pindola is seated below banana leaves and lichen-studded rocks in a chair made of gnarled branches, one of which is shaped like a dragon. He holds an elaborate, long-handled incense burner in his left hand, and a white rosary is wrapped around his left forearm. He has a dignified, but stern, countenance with a prominent nose and jutting chin, which is covered with the stubble of a white beard. He has long white eyebrows and white hair that is streaked with gold. The patches of his robe are decorated with interlocking circles of white dots, while darker strips of fabric bear the repeated symbol of the Wheel of the Law. The folds of his robes, his rumpled leggings, and his sandals of woven straw are rendered with particular attention and skill.

content: Folding screens mounted with scattered fans, each painted on a piece of separate paper, were popular in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth century, and their production continued into modern times. These screens were appreciated for displaying together a variety of small paintings in an attractive arrangement to suggest the image of fans floating through the air or on water.

content: These screens' fans are painted directly over a background of scattered shapes of gold and silver leaf to give the illusion that they are mounted fans. The screens employ mainly flower and plant motifs, some of which have seasonal associations: cherry blossoms with spring; chrysanthemums and red maple leaves with autumn. Other designs are associated with famous sites like Mount Fuji and the Uji Bridge, which are also themes of poetry. Three paintings in monochromatic ink contrast with the gold, silver, and colored images on the other fans and also illustrate the artistic studio's familiarity with themes from Chinese painting. The two fans with striped patterns appear to be related to textile patterns for kimonos. The style of the paintings suggests that they might have been produced by painters of the Kano school, a leading group of professional painters.

content: Jar (hu): ovoidal, with trumpet-shaped mouth; two open handles; recessed foot. Cf. F1910.15.

content: Clay: hard, gray stoneware. Reddish-brown on surface.

content: Glaze: lustrous olive, lightly craced on shoulder and inside neck.

content: Decoration: corrugated encircling lines, and linear designs incised in paste.

content: Cf. F1910.15.

label: Label

content: Shaped after the Chinese bronze vessel called a hu, this jar bears glaze only inside its neck and on its shoulder. The glaze may be a combination of applied and natural glazes. A natural decorative effect was produced where the glaze gathered on the raised bowstring patterns. Incised stylized bird motifs complete the decor. Although jars of this type are found in tombs, they also may have been used in everyday life for storage.

label: Label

content: At right, a peasant with a load of firewood trudges across a low bridge in the direction of a private, walled estate, which is built on the river at the foot of a steep slope. Admiring the winter scene, two men engage in conversation in an upstairs window of the main building. Stretching off into high mountains, a nearby valley contains other structures, including an idle fishing rig with its net in the water. While snowscapes inherently lend themselves to visual drama in their use of contrasting colors and textures, the mood of this painting is still and serene. Architectural elements are crisply realized and skillfully set off against the softening effects of the snow and the light blue-and-green palette.

content: Although this scroll bears the spurious signature of Li Cheng (919-967), a famous painter of the Five Dynasties period (907-960), the coloring and overall execution of the work, such as the modeling of the rocks and slopes, suggest an artist of the seventeenth-century Nanjing School of painters, and may possibly be a work by the renowned landscapist Fan Qi. Whatever the case, the original artist's signature was cut off at some time and replaced by an unscrupulous individual who wished to attribute the scroll to an earlier era.
