	Chinese painting ca 1800 of 3 women and a boy in ink and colors on silk, recently remounted. This is a painting of 3 elegant women and a small child. The figure with the child is roughly identified as Tian Ji Song Zi. She is a heavenly being who fell in love with an earthling, was recalled to heaven, and had a child. After the child was born in heaven she took the child back to her partner on earth. The painting is by the artist Li Mo Qing. This is very much in the tradition of the late Qing Dynasty paintings where the portraits of young beautiful women were in fashion. 天姬送子图。清代（公元1800）。设色绢本立轴。品相优。
