Framed Chinese Ink and Watercolor Landscape Painting with Red Trees and Birds
This piece was acquired through family; it originally came from an older German woman who collected art and antiques. It features traditional Asian ink landscape elements with flying white birds, vivid red foliage, and a light brown tree trunk — which is uncommon among similar works. The painting includes Chinese calligraphy and red seal stamps, which may indicate authorship. Traditional Chinese ink and watercolor on rice paper or handmade paper. The brushwork and bleeding suggest hand-painted or mixed media technique rather than a digital print. Based on visual and stylistic research, it may be a reproduction or variation of a painting attributed to Xue Liang or another modern Chinese ink master.
