They conducted authoritative appraisals of public and private collections of paintings nationwide, graded them, and compiled this catalog. All original works were photographed and printed, with each piece accompanied by details such as era, author, title, form, material, creation date, and dimensions. Most works also include inscriptions and seals. The entire catalog features original photographs of the works, making it highly valuable for collection, study, and appraisal comparison.
