AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Refined Chinese reverse-painting on glass, depicting a lady in traditional dress holding a Pekingese dog in her lap, an iconic subject of Chinese culture and a symbol of elegance and prestige.
The work stands out for the delicate execution of the facial features, the richness of the clothing details, and the pleasant color harmony, characteristics that give the whole piece a strong decorative charm. It is embellished by the original wooden frame, complete with the upper ornamental element.
Made in China and datable to the mid-20th century (circa 1950), it represents an interesting example of the tradition of glass painting intended for home decor.
Conditions
The work is in good overall condition. The painting is well preserved and maintains a pleasant brightness of colors with slight signs of aging visible in the photos. The original frame shows normal signs of time and use, fully compatible with the age of the item. The back shows a natural patina due to aging.
The photographs are an integral part of the description and faithfully document the state of preservation of the piece.
A very particular piece rich in charm.
