Two large Chinese Daoist deity paintings, 19th century, each ink and color on paper or silk, depicting enthroned and processional celestial figures beneath ceremonial canopies. The group includes one deity seated astride a lion-like guardian beast with attendants and another commanding figure riding an elephant, each richly dressed in patterned robes with cloud, wave, banner, and auspicious ceremonial motifs. The strong linear drawing, saturated mineral-style pigments, and imposing vertical format suggest temple, devotional, or processional imagery in the Daoist/Buddhist folk tradition. Each is professionally framed under glass in gilt frame with matting. Largest: 77 in. H, 32 in. W.

  • Condition: Visible creasing, fold lines, toning, scattered pigment wear, small losses, and age-related discoloration throughout.
