About the Item

Ten Framed 19th Century Chinese Pith Paintings of Courtly Entertainment Chinese, 19th Century Height 29cm, width 41cm, depth 2cm This striking suite of ten Chinese watercolours is painted on pith paper, a unique medium renowned for its ability to enhance colour brilliance. Often referred to as rice paper, pith's low absorbency allows pigments to remain vivid and luminous, giving the artwork exceptional clarity and depth. The paintings feature rich hues of green and blue, subtly balanced by touches of yellow, orange, and brown. Each scene captures moments of Qing-dynasty courtly life, rendered with fine detail and ceremonial elegance. Popular with 19th-century European collectors, pith paper watercolours were admired for their exquisite technique and romantic depictions of Chinese culture. Their compact format made them ideal as portable mementoes of foreign travel and artistic heritage. Each artwork is simply framed to highlight the intricacy of the brushwork. Together, the set offers a compelling insight into Qing-era artistry—perfect for collectors of Chinese antiques or those seeking refined, historic wall décor.
