Prince and Mother of the Cultivated Fields, unknown artist, nianhua New Year's picture, early 20th century, Chinese, graphic print, height 25.0 cm, width 26.0 cm, A worn rectangular sheet with a faded beige background shows a sketched scene of several human figures behind a horizontal surface, rendered in thin black lines; two central seated figures wear head coverings, with the figure on the left showing patches of purple on the shoulders and the figure on the right outlined by darker lines, both framed by a red horizontal band across the upper area. A green patterned strip runs along the top edge, and a faded red rectangular area with darker marks sits near the top center. Below the seated figures a red band crosses the page containing two dome-like shapes and a leafy branch motif in darker ink. Fainter, partially visible standing figures appear at the left and right edges and along the lower portion, with one lower-right figure sketched in denser black lines. The paper shows creases...
