Hello,

This item is a beautifully framed watercolor painting of hibiscus flowers with accompanying calligraphy, measuring 12 inches by 12 inches within a 16-inch square bamboo frame. The artwork, executed on rice paper, displays vibrant hues, particularly in the red and green tones of the hibiscus flower, symbolizing elegance and beauty. The painting’s rice paper matting is enhanced with a 2-inch border and protected by Arctic White 3297 Crescent watercolor board and black barrier paper backing, ensuring both stability and preservation within the bamboo frame.

Given its traditional subject matter and the refined quality of its composition, this piece aligns well with Asian decorative art trends, making it an appealing addition for collectors of Eastern-inspired floral watercolors. The combination of meticulous detailing, skillful calligraphy, and quality framing materials adds to its aesthetic and market appeal.

In terms of market value, similar framed Asian watercolor artworks, especially those featuring calligraphic elements and traditional floral subjects, are typically valued between $150 and $300, depending on artist recognition and provenance. This valuation reflects both the artwork’s aesthetic quality and its well-preserved framing.

Best regards,
David
