FANNY. This is a very delicate piece of artwork featuring imperfect handmade glass that is hundreds of years old. The Chinese artisan who created this artwork with incredible line details and high quality paint that has retained its vibrancy.
The painting is only in good condition because of some minor paint loss(see close-up photos). The glass is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks or repairs. The frame appears to be original to the painting and has a minor "nick" on the bottom left. The frame measures approximately 12" inches height by 9 1/2" inches width. The actual painting measures approximately 9 1/2" inches height by 6 3/4" inches width.
