Sold framed: 76 x 65 x 5,5 cm. This artwork is really really exquisite because of 52 pandas. Sold framed: 75 x 65 x 5.5 cm. Under the influence of the social and educational system, the children today focus only on the test scores, and obsessed with electronic products, do not like sports, lazy like pandas, sometimes even eat and do not want to move.
