Chinese Brothel Scene, Framed

Two figures in a draped corner, printed small and given a very wide margin.

Brothel Scene, Framed is a print from China, of indeterminate age. A small sepia-toned image sits at the center of a broad white mat, and one figure stands with a cap on her head while the other kneels beside her, both unclothed. Behind them hangs a dark, richly patterned backdrop with a carved look. A narrow gold line edges the mat, and a deep brown wooden frame surrounds it all. The overall frame measures 20.5 inches by 24.5.

Plenty of white space, for the sake of discretion.
