About the Item
A stunning Chinese hand-painted artwork featuring lush peonies and butterflies, this elegant composition evokes the grace and symbolism of traditional East Asian floral painting. Executed in ink and watercolor on silk or fine rice paper, the work depicts vibrant peonies in full bloom—red, blush pink, ivory, and golden yellow—accompanied by delicately rendered butterflies in flight. The combination of materials, subject matter, and framing suggest this was a high-quality export piece or decorative artwork from the Republican or early People’s Republic period., 1940s to 1970s. The brushwork is exquisite, with gradated shading and fine line-work on both petals and leaves. Chinese calligraphy and a red seal mark add authenticity and cultural depth. Housed in a substantial gilt bamboo-style frame, the piece measures 40 inches wide by 25.5 inches tall and remains in beautiful condition.. This would complement a range of design including chinoiserie interiors or botanical collections.
