Description from the seller
This artwork is a traditional Chinese ink-and-bamboo painting, known as 'Ink Bamboo'.
Attributed to Zheng Xie (also known as Zheng Banqiao).
The work is attributed to Zheng Xie (also known as Zheng Banqiao), a famous painter and calligrapher from the Qing Dynasty. It is a prime example of the 'Yangzhou Eight Eccentrics', known for combining bamboo painting with expressive calligraphy.
