Description

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.

Condition

The condition is typical for a picture of this age, including some discolouration and foxing. Light creasing along the left edge. There is a small tear to the lower right. Light wear to the frame; however, overall it is in good condition.
