Three-volume Chinese-language edition of Jieziyuan Huazhuan (芥子園畫傳), commonly known in English as The Mustard Seed Garden Manual of Painting. Illustrated throughout with traditional Chinese painting instruction and examples.


Exact publication date and edition are unidentified; offered as a later facsimile/reprint set, not as an original antique edition.


All three volumes show exterior wear. One volume opens very loosely at the center with the sewn binding exposed, but the pages at that opening remain securely tethered; pages 112–113 are consecutive. One outer spine covering has a long split/separation. Other rubbing, edge wear, marks, and age-related wear are present. Please examine all photographs carefully. Cover has writing on front. Pages are unmarked inside.
