Hi  All

Going  back my the  "pretty  Chinese  lady"   fake -photo  IPB   I  finally  sourced the  original  oil painting  on which  it  was  based (  or rather - from which  it was  stolen !)

It's  by an  artist  called   Hu Zhi Jun 　  胡志 军

 I attach the  original painting.

You can   see it  by  following the  attached  url

The "little  dark  area"  on her hand  is  in  fact  a  jade  pendant

If the    genuine   IPB  bottle  which I  saw  in Li Shouxun's  Hengshui  studio  last month is not  too  expensive  I will  buy it .  The  bottle  was  painted by  Guo  Bebeibei,  who is  married to Wang Sijia  and  is  also  one of  Li Shouxun's  students  (check  my DB   for  more  on  Guo Beibei  if you  have a  copy of the  DB)

Interesting  story, and it  goes to show that  perseverance and  patience pays  off in the  long run 

Cheers
Peter
