Chinese Cultural Revolution Lithograph

A rainbow arcs over a soldier and a girl who both squint hopefully at the horizon.

This cultural revolution lithograph is from China, and dates to the 20th century. It is ink on paper. Suites of prints are issued as a related set, and a single sheet from a suite is often best understood alongside its companions. A uniformed man with a pack and a girl in a pale blue jacket and red neckerchief stand shoulder to shoulder at the shore. Gulls fly across a bright sea, and a faint rainbow spans the upper right with caption below. It is 10.25 inches wide and 7.5 high.

Weather, romance and duty all booked into one sky.
