日本のコレクションからの中国掛軸2点セット：「冬の三友」（松、竹、 - Paper - Lu Shiqin - China - 20th century

item and its origin
Sourced directly from a private Japanese collection, this lot features a complementary set of two traditional Chinese hanging scrolls celebrating the harmony of nature through flora and abundant harvest.

Scroll 1 ("Three Friends of Winter" / 岁寒三友图): Painted on paper and elegantly mounted with a silk border (绫裱). It depicts the classic motif of Pine, Bamboo, and Plum Blossom—symbols of endurance, virtue, and vitality amidst cold weather.

Scroll 2 ("Abundant Fruit" / 硕果图): Painted by Chinese artist Lu Shiqin (陆世勤), featuring vibrant clusters of grapes dripping with life, accompanied by small birds beneath the lush foliage. Signed by the artist with artist seal.

Together, the set pairs the timeless noble elegance of the "Three Friends of Winter" (松竹梅) with the lush, prosperous imagery of abundant fruit (硕果), creating an auspicious thematic connection of natural beauty, longevity, and prosperity.
