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. Its historical significance and unique beauty make it a conversation piece, while its serene imagery can add a sense of calm and sophistication to any space. Whether hung on a wall among other artworks or displayed as a standalone piece, this painting is sure to captivate and add an element of cultural depth and visual interest to your home.

Qing Dynasty 19th Century Ancestral Group Painting on Hand Painted Parchment

Located in Yonkers, NY

A Chinese Qing Dynasty period painting from the 19th century of an ancestral group portrait in custom frame. Immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of Chinese history with this Qing Dynasty period painting, an ancestral group portrait from the 19th century that masterfully captures the essence of traditional Chinese society and family hierarchy. This vertical painting, housed in a custom composition wood frame with plexiglass, is a testament to the time-honored artistry of Qing Dynasty artists. Crafted on parchment paper, the painting displays generations of ancestors in a systematic, frontal arrangement. The chromatic spectrum of their robes - blues, reds, greens, golds, blacks, and oranges - adds vibrant depth to the ancestral tribute. Civil officials are distinguished by bird-adorned buzi, an emblem of their rank. In line with tradition, the portrait hierarchy descends from top to bottom - the older generation presides at the top, followed by subsequent generations. The men are positioned on the right, the women on the left, reflecting the societal norms of the period. Bordering the parchment, a silk frame contributes an elegant finish. Display this painting above a credenza, console table, or enfilade, and it promises to enhance any interior space with its captivating allure and cultural resonance. This Qing Dynasty painting...
