This artwork is a large watercolor painting depicting an atmospheric night harbor scene with traditional Chinese architecture and boats, executed in subtle tones of teal and red with reflections on calm waters. The artist is tentatively identified as Xiang Ming Zeng, sometimes referred to colloquially as “Uncle Zeng,” known for romanticized and moody depictions of traditional East Asian landscapes. The style is aligned with mid-to-late 20th-century Chinese export watercolors that often catered to Western collectors, particularly popular in the 1970s–1990s. The work demonstrates high technical skill in atmospheric perspective and architectural detail, though the exact authorship remains uncertain without a visible or verified signature.

The dimensions of the painting are 34 x 22 inches, framed at 45 x 39 inches. The scene is intended as part of a diptych—a pair of paintings that, when placed side-by-side, create one continuous visual narrative. This enhances the value due to the completeness of the artistic concept when both pieces are present.

The market for Chinese export watercolors and works attributed to artists like Zeng Ming (often sold in pairs or under descriptive labels such as “Uncle Zeng”) remains strong, especially in decorative arts and interior design circles.
