Bidspirit auction | Two Framed Chinese and Mian
Two Framed Chinese and Mian Langhui Watercolors - This lot comprises two framed artworks. The larger work is a figurative painting executed in watercolor and gouache on a textile ground, likely silk. The composition features a central female figure in traditional Chinese dress, including a blue robe with yellow and red accents, holding a circular fan. She is positioned before a large, stylised fan of pink peacock feathers. Two white birds, possibly cranes or geese, are at her feet, and pink peony blossoms are visible to the right. The artwork is presented in a wide off-white mount within a black-painted wooden frame. The second, smaller artwork is a silk painting or batik featuring four yellow floral buds. The flowers are set against a dark, contrasting background with green foliage. This piece is signed in the upper right corner with characters reading Mian Langhui Hfa. It is housed in an off-white mount and a moulded gold-tone frame.
