Ye Zhongsan the Elder may be considered the most prolific of all Middle Period artists in this IP medium. Below an example specifically dated “Xin Hai qui yue” for Autumn 1911 and it is one of the last IPSB that can be ascribed to Ye Zhongsan the Elder 1875 – 1945 since it was painted before Ye’s eldest son, Ye Bengzhen joined the studio in 1912. Even if Ye Bengzhen had joined his father by late 1911, he would not have immediately been able to paint such a complicated subject matter. So although this bottle was painted in 1913, when compared to other known pre 1912 bottles with same theme, it is easy to attribute this 1913 bottle to Ye Zhongsan the Elder. Here is a 1911 for comparison.
