In 1954, Penfield became United States' High Commissioner for Austria with the mission to re-establish an independent, neutral and democratic Austria. In 1961, he was appointed American Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to Iceland; thence by direct family descent.James was born in NYC in 1908. His mother was one of the first women to drive a car by herself all the way across the United States within a week. James must have inherited her pioneering spirit, because as a young Stanford graduate, he joined the small hand-picked team who travelled to China to work for the American Diplomatic Corps in the 1930s and 1940s. Although his diplomatic career later took him to posts all around the world, his daughter remembers him speaking fondly of "the best years of his life in Peking, Canton and Chunking". Whilst in China, James established friendships with prominent local artists, he was gifted a painting, as a token of farewell, by and from Zhang Daqian (1899-1983), one of the most celebrated 20th-century Chinese artists. The painting, which is dated 1944, subsequently sold in this saleroom, 08 November 2017, lot 87.Note: There is little known about the painter Gu Jianlong, except that he served as a court artist in the 1660s-70s. He was born in Suzhou Taichang, and painted portraits of Qing emperors and imperial family members. His works are in the collection of The British Museum, see a portrait of Guanyin, museum numbers 1910,0212,0.486.

Chinese Imperial School (Qing
Chinese Imperial School (Qing Dynasty - 18th Century) - Body colour pen ink and gilt on paper - A part set of eight pictures depicting scenes from the Fengshen Yani The Investiture of the Gods each with inscribed titles in Kaishu (standard script) and Manchurian each 17ins square (with some discolouration and foxing to paper and some hole damage and rubbing) in modern gilt moulded frames and glazed Provenance : The Du Boulay Family Collection - By descent to the present vendor Note : Manchu was the primary language of the Qing Dynasty Imperial court but as Manchu officials became increasingly Sinicized many started losing the language. The use of the language among the bannermen was in decline throughout the 1700s. Historical records report that as early as 1776 the Qianlong Emperor was shocked to see a high Manchu official Guo'ermin not understand what the emperor was telling him in Manchu despite coming from the Manchu stronghold of Shengjing (now Shenyang). By the 19th century even the Imperial court had lost fluency in the language. The Jiaqing Emperor (1796 to 1820) complained about his officials being good neither at understanding nor writing Manchu. As late as 1906-1907 Qing education and military officials insisted that schools teach the Manchu language and that the officials testing soldiers' continued to conduct an oral examination in Manchu.
