The vertical format and subject matter reflect strong influence from traditional Asian painting, while the simple gilt wood frame places it squarely in the mid-20th century decorative tradition.

This large-scale work measures 38.5” H × 17” W × 1.5” D. The painting is executed in watercolor or gouache on silk and is presented under glass. The back carries a label from University Art Supply, Palo Alto, California, supporting mid-20th century provenance.

Signed in English and bearing a red Asian-style seal mark, the painting demonstrates a cross-cultural fusion of Eastern and Western aesthetics — perfect for collectors of mid-century art or those seeking a statement floral for refined interiors.

Condition: Very good vintage condition with light toning to the silk and age wear to the frame. Stable and ready to hang. Please see photographs for condition. See less
