A 9”X 12” vertical watercolor on paper; of a portion of a home, surrounding foliage and two females (possibly mother and child or woman and servant) dressed in kimonos.
It had been gifted to my parents in the 60’s
This is a Chinese export art piece that dates to about 1900 that depicts a Royal Court Member, possible the Empress Cixi with a Royal attendant as she enjoys the weather from a building at the Royal Summer Palace. This is actually a print with hand coloring. The estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail 'asking prices' can be higher and vary.
You are welcome
Thank you very much
