A surreal oil painting on canvas. The beautiful painting depicts a half naked lady of Asian appearance sitting in front of a large gate. The dragon scale pattern from the gatekeepers gold skirt continues in a gold pattern onto the light skin. The ladies stylized hairstyle is reminiscent of the ancient hairstyles of Chinese aristocrats and includes a red lily flower. The same lily is on the girls transparent hand fan, which she holds in her hands. Interestingly, in China, lilies symbolize friendship and understanding, and in Japan, it is believed that the scent of a lily can help guide the soul of the deceased to the afterlife. Illegibly signed lower right. Presumably Chinese. Comes with a gilded frame. Oriental Fine Art, Oil Artwork, Wall Decor Collectibles.
