Earth Deity, unknown author, Chinese, nianhua New Year's picture, early 20th century, Beijing; graphic print; height 36.0 cm, width 28.5 cm., An aged paper print shows a central seated figure with a large hat, mustache, and beard, flanked by several attendants; the central figure has a broad robe with patterned lines and a layered collar, and a low table with ritual objects sits in front. The attendants vary in appearance, with one wearing a patterned garment and another with a headpiece; faces are rendered with calm expressions and stylized features. The composition is framed by curtain-like drapery at the top and decorative borders. Visible colors include beige and tan from the aged paper, black from the printed lines, and a small area of muted red near the top, with areas of wear and peeling revealing lighter cream tones and some white patches.
