Hello, this item is a Chinese ink and watercolor painting on handmade or mould-made paper, measuring approximately 17 x 14 inches. The paper exhibits a natural fibrous texture with inclusions, suggesting traditional xuan (rice) paper or a similar high-quality handmade substrate. The composition presents a solitary female figure in traditional attire amid a misty, abstracted landscape, rendered with fine linework and controlled ink wash. A red seal and possible signature are visible, and there appears to be a watermark embedded in the paper. According to the client’s research, the work is attributed to Pang Tseng-Ying (Chinese-American, 1916–1997), a noted 20th-century painter who integrated classical Chinese brush techniques with modern abstraction.
If the attribution to Pang Tseng-Ying is correct, this piece would fall within the market for 20th-century diasporic Chinese ink painters. His works, especially those on paper with clear provenance or exhibited history, can fetch between $600 and $1,200 USD depending on condition, composition quality, and signature clarity.
