Chinese Cultural Revolution Lithograph

A young woman in a grey jacket and yellow scarf gazes skyward while the harbor cranes work behind her.

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. Soft watercolor sky, a freighter and cranes at the dock, two lines of printed caption under the picture on a cream margin. It is 10.25 inches wide and 7.5 high.

Optimism rendered in pastel, with a ship parked politely behind it.
