Up for sale is a beautiful, original hand-painted Chinese Peasant Folk Art painting originating from Huxian (Hu County) region of the Shaanxi Province. This vibrant piece depicts a lively, whimsical winter scene of villagers and children participating in a traditional “Lantern Dance” celebration amidst a snowy blue landscape. Note on Authenticity: This is a true original painting, not a print. High-magnification examination confirms absolutely no digital or lithographic dot matrix patterns. It features the rich, matte texture, opaque layering, and slight paper dimension characteristic of hand-applied gouache/tempera (shui fen) on heavy art paper. The piece is hand-signed by the artist in vertical calligraphy in the lower right corner, accompanied by a traditional red ink artist seal stamp. It comes beautifully presented in a multi-layered matting and a clean black frame, ready to hang. A fantastic addition for collectors of Asian art, festive folk illustration, or colorful Mid-Century eclectic decor. The colors remain incredibly bright, saturated, and crisp with no visible fading or water damage. The frame and glass are secure, showing only light, standard wear to the outer edges consistent with careful gallery display. Please see high-resolution photos for close-up details. Total Frame Size: 27″ x 22″. Sight Size (Visible Art): 19 x 15.
