08/11/2026: In my opinion regarding LOT: 3304- please note that I am not an expert on Chinese scroll paintings, this work was examined while hanging on the wall and through the glass, the attached image with the blue circle illustrates a shadow only, I have also included the original photograph without the shadow for reference, pardon the shadows and reflections from the overhead, as described we do not know how the work is mounted or the nature of the support beneath the visible surface, based upon visual examination the work exhibits numerous horizontal creases, small tears and separations to the fabric, some appearing stabilized, areas of thread separation, some minor losses along the edges, age toning, discoloration, fading and color variation, a UV examination reveals scattered areas of fluorescence consistent with possible restoration, stabilization and/or later conservation, the frame is stable with nicks, rubs and abrasions, consistent with handling and display, I have taken numerous high-resolution images for your review
