Hello, this item is a contemporary Balinese decorative painting depicting birds among dense tropical foliage, signed “IW Dana” and referencing Katik Lantang, Ubud, Bali. The composition, with softly modeled brown tonal vegetation contrasted by brightly colored turquoise and green birds and pink flowers, reflects the decorative Ubud school tradition that developed for the tourist and export market in the late 20th century. The stylized leaves, flattened perspective, and carefully outlined forms are characteristic of workshop production rather than a master-level Balinese painter associated with major museum collections. The canvas and stretcher visible on the reverse, along with the simple wood frame, support a dating to the late 20th or early 21st century.
From a market perspective, works of this type are widely available in Southeast Asian decorative art markets and secondary Western resale platforms. While attractive and well executed, they are valued primarily for decorative appeal rather than rarity or established art historical significance. Comparable Balinese paintings by local Ubud artists of similar size and condition typically sell in the range of 150 USD to 350 USD at auction or resale.
