Picture of the Week #265 "Two gentlemen of Peking" Peking/Beijing, China 1980 Signed & Stamped

On my long ago visit to scout locations and work on the budget of what was supposed to be the first Chinese American co-Production motion picture, I came across these two gentlemen sitting in the Forbidden City. There was something so quietly elegant in their demeanor that I had to take their picture. Later I painted this image and that painting now is proudly displayed in my show business
attorney Eric Weissmann's home. I still feel something towards this image and the two men who have inhabited my memory all these 33 + years.
