Each of the barrel-shaped stool with a pierced 'cash' motif on the slightly convex top, painted in famille-rose palette with a floral motif of prunus blossom on a green ground draping over the sides terminating in four ruyi scroll heads, the body covered with a continuous landscape with scholars finely painted in grisaille and sepia tone, set between famille-rose painted detached flowers around the top and a floral scroll border around the base.
The classical style of the exquisitely depicted mountain landscape, which resembles traditional Chinese ink painting, coupled with the delicate 'boneless' style of painting contemporary to the seat of the floral branches capture the uniqueness that is characteristic of the Yongzheng and Qianlong periods. Such experimentation and advances were made possible by the technical development achieved by the craftsmen in Jingdezhen. For vases decorated with similar intricately executed landscapes painted in grisaille, sepia and gilt, and on a floral famille-rose ground, see a pair sold at Christie's New York, 25th March 1989, lot 232.
For an almost identical stool, see Sotheby's Hong Kong, 7/10/2009, lot 1601; a brushpot also dated from Yongzheng period, with a very similar grisaille-decorated 'landscape' scene, see Christie's Hong Kong, 28/5/2014, lot 3321.
清雍正（1723-1735）一對極為罕見的粉彩墨彩山水人物圖坐墩
一對，鼓形坐墩，墩面微拱，其上鏤雕錢紋。墩面以粉彩繪綠地折枝梅花紋，紋飾自頂部垂覆至器身上部，止於四組如意雲頭。器身通景以墨彩及褐彩精繪山水人物圖，亭臺樓閣掩映於崇山峻嶺之間，高士悠遊其間，筆意雋雅。上部飾粉彩折枝花卉紋一周，下承纏枝花卉紋邊飾，構圖繁而不亂，層次分明。
器身所繪山水景致格調高古，頗具傳統水墨畫意境，與墩面所繪細膩柔美、富於寫生趣味的沒骨花卉相映成趣，充分展現雍正、乾隆時期御窯瓷器雅緻清新的藝術風格。此類創新裝飾手法，正反映景德鎮御窯廠於十八世紀前期在彩瓷工藝與繪畫技法上的高度發展與成熟。
與本對坐墩風格相近者，可參考一對粉彩地兼墨彩、描金山水圖瓶，售於佳士得紐約，1989年3月25日，拍品232號，其山水繪畫同樣筆法細膩，構圖繁複精工。
另可比較一件幾乎相同之坐墩，售於香港蘇富比，2009年10月7日，拍品1601號；以及一件雍正時期墨彩山水人物圖筆筒，其山水構圖與繪畫風格極為相近，售於香港佳士得，2014年5月28日，拍品3321號。

Both stools are in overall good condition. One stool has a small glaze chip and a few very fine glaze cracks to the centre of the top. There are also minor enamel losses in places, all of which are consistent with age, handling and expected wear.
