Chinese Watercolour Paintings
This lot comprises two delicate Chinese watercolour paintings on silk. One depicts elegant ladies in a garden setting, showcasing traditional attire and refined poses. The other portrays a wasp amongst blossoming branches, demonstrating a detailed rendering of nature. Both paintings exhibit a classic Chinese aesthetic, with subtle colour palettes and meticulous brushwork, likely dating from the mid-20th century.
Condition and Collectibility
These watercolours show signs of age and wear, with some minor fading and possible silk degradation consistent with their age. Despite this, the paintings retain their artistic integrity and charm. They would appeal to collectors of Asian art, particularly those interested in Chinese watercolour painting and depictions of traditional life and nature. The delicate nature and artistic merit make these pieces desirable for display and appreciation.
