This charming 19th-century Chinese pith painting, rendered in vibrant gouache, depicts a lively group of figures gathered beneath a tree. Pith paper paintings – often misnamed as 'rice paper' – were popular export items during the 19th century, reflecting the West's growing fascination with Chinese culture and daily life. Unsigned. Beautifully presented in a ripple-effect frame. On pith paper.
