About the Item
An antique Chinese reverse painting on glass from the early 20th century depicting a woman sitting next to a bowl of fruits. This exquisite early 20th-century Chinese reverse painting on glass captures a serene and contemplative moment, depicting a woman sitting gracefully beside a bowl brimming with vibrant fruits. The technique of reverse painting involves applying paint to a piece of glass and then viewing the image by turning the glass over, a method that gives the artwork a deep, luminous quality.
The dark background provides a striking contrast to the woman's colorful attire, with shades of yellow, orange, blue, and red creating a vivid and captivating composition. The rich colors not only highlight her elegant posture and thoughtful expression but also bring the stillness of the scene to life.
The painting is set within a simple yet sturdy wooden frame, which complements the artwork without overshadowing its vibrant hues. This antique piece is more than just a decorative item; it's a window into the past, reflecting the rich cultural heritage and artistic traditions of early 20th-century China.
In a modern home, this reverse painting on glass could be used as a stunning focal point in a living room, study, or hallway.

Qing Dynasty Painting of a Royalty Related Couple with Dragon Motifs
Located in Yonkers, NY
A Chinese late Qing Dynasty period framed painting from the early 20th century of a royalty related couple with dragon motifs painted on a linen canvas. Created in China during the late Qing Dynasty in the early years of the 20th century, this custom framed painting depicts a couple wearing either a red (a symbol of luck in China) or green robe. The depiction of dragons relates them to the Imperial family, but having four claws and not five as codified, the couple is likely part of the royal family, not the Imperial couple themselves. Accented with typical motifs such as bats, flaming pearls and rain-filled clouds, the robes are filled with symbols. Wearing ornate headdresses, the couple is sitting on elegant chairs. Set inside custom made frames, the paintings show great signs of age. While the entire piece measures 40.5"W x 1"D x 53"H, the painting itself is 36.5"W x 49". With its vivid colors and interesting subject, this Chinese Qing Dynasty painting...
