Chinese Cultural Revolution Lithograph

A woman wades a bright, shallow river with a staff and a heavy sack over one shoulder.

This cultural revolution lithograph is from China, and dates to the 20th century. It is ink on paper. Lithography prints an image from a flat stone or plate that has been treated so ink sticks only to the drawn areas. Horizontal scene with a figure in dark trousers and grey top stepping through pale, foaming water, a long stick planted ahead. Jagged brown rocks stand at right and green leaves at left, caption beneath. It is 10.25 inches wide and 7.5 high.

Wet feet, heavy load, and the water drawn like glass.
