An ink and watercolor painting on paper by Liu Haishu (1896-1994). The painting, which has a poem and two seals, depicts gourds on the vine. It is mounted on a silk backing with wooden dowels. Dimensions are: 36 in. tall X 13 1/2 in. wide; 91.4 cm tall X 34.3 cm wide. All measurements are approximate. Condition: It is in fair condition with minor creasing, a small loss, and possible repair. The piece would benefit from a new backing, as it is separating from the dowel. Provenance: From an estate in southern California, whose family moved to the US from Shanghai in 1949.
