注脚
Yan Yutian (active 1894-1919) is believed to be a Manchu ,but little is known of his life. He painted with a predominantly brown and grey palette ,and most of his subjects are charming landscapes ,still-lifes ,and birds. Yan dated most of his bottles either to 1895 or 1907; only a few are known dated 1918.
