A private collection of more than 30 Chinese handscrolls and hanging scrolls star at Roseberys on June 27 in West Norwood, London.
Included among the group is this 19th century mounted silk scroll painted with a bird perched on a blossoming branch by Ren Yi (1840-94), the son of a rice merchant who supplemented his income by painting. The 10in (26cm) in diameter work is signed with the artist’s seal and is dated to the spring of 1891.
