Pair of new sealed artist signed reproduction prints

Pair of new sealed artist signed reproduction prints “Lady Holding a Fan in the Autumn Breeze”, Fei Danxu (1802–50). The round fan in her left hand references Lady Ban, or Ban Jieyu (c. 48 bce–c. 6 bce), the erudite and virtuous consort of the Han emperor Cheng Di (r. 32–7 ce). After expressing her enduring devotion to her lord in a poem written on a round fan, Lady Ban became the archetype of the abandoned woman that was rendered in paintings for centuries to follow. Her image initially appealed to women as a virtuous role model, and later to men as a woman longing for love.”Print measures 10 1/4” x 2 7/8” “Fishermen”, Ren Yi (1840-96) Also known as Ren Bonian, was a painter and son of a rice merchant who supplemented his income by doing portraits.
