D Series (D1)

With the D Series, the condensation is complete, and all ten magistrates appear on a common scroll. Similar to the H series which also groups all ten courts together, this scroll boasts a very different style and is the most cartoonish in its simplicity. While its provenance is unknown, it is indicative of southern China and is similar to others from that region that now hang in museums such as the Art Gallery of New South Wales. (Image: 49 X 135 cm.)
