Chinese Cultural Revolution Poster

Fur hat, snow wind, and a very long way from the road.

This poster was printed in ink on paper in China in the 20th century. Realist portraits of soldiers and model figures were common in prints of the Cultural Revolution era. A man in a fur hat and padded coat crouches in the snow, bracing a form in his arms, as wind and blown snow whip around him and a mountain ridge shows beyond. A short caption in red characters sits at the lower left.

About 30 by 21 inches. Quite a cold look for a warm room.
