Chinese Cultural Revolution Print, Famed

Misty green mountainside with a red-roofed village at its base in a gilt frame.

This Cultural Revolution print of a procession in an idyllic landscape is from Hebei Province, China, and dates to the 20th century. It is paper. Prints of this period were mass produced on paper, and they were displayed in schools, offices and homes across China. Landscape print in a narrow, ornamented yellow frame. Pine-covered slopes rise behind a cluster of white buildings, and red banners or flowers fill the foreground. Pale mountains soften into the sky, with a line of tiny characters at the top left. It is 17 inches wide, 0.5 deep and 12.5 high.

Pretty enough that the clouds look like they are posing.
