Figure Silk Painting Art

As a portable tool, fans served the practical function of cooling and providing a breeze in ancient times. However, the emergence of fan paintings endowed fans with both practicality and ornamental value. While using fans, people could admire the calligraphy and painting art on the fan surface, experiencing cultural influence and enjoying aesthetic pleasure. Since ancient times, fan paintings have been beloved by literati and ink painters. They inscribed poems and created paintings on fan surfaces to express their emotions and aspirations, leaving countless exquisite fan painting and calligraphy artworks and eternal legends. This tradition has continued to this day, making fan paintings an important component of Chinese traditional art.

This is an original Asian silk painting art, not a print, that was produced in the 1980s and 1990s by painters from Suzhou, China. Using silk as their canvas, the artists skillfully captured the Song dynasty style of Chinese watercolor paintings. 

Because these paintings are all handicrafts, works with the same theme may have different layout and colors. Also because of limitations in imaging and photography equipment, the image may have subtle color differences from the actual product.
