I recently purchased a pair of Chinese silk paintings at an estate auction. I fell in love with how detailed the paintings are and how beautifully executed.

Both were framed by a contemporary framing gallery in New Jersey, both paintings appear to be slightly different generations, but quite old. Any help in identifying the figures would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance for your help and expertise.

This was listed at my local antiques group, wanted to know whether if it has the slightest chance of being genuine or not?

I picked these up from a shop randomly. I love these. The work is skilful. The painting has signs of wear and tear ans staining. Can someone help identify the artist and age? Also what is the best way of hanging it to make sure it doesn’t tear, crumble or something?

Is there other more recent information on Chinese painter, Xu Jie? (Shanghai Artists Association; https://en.artassociation.asia/master/xujie/). Do any museums/galleries show/own her work? Is she still actively painting new works?
