Traveling on Horseback Painting

The Chinese title, written on this painting is "Jiao Lu Tu" which means "Traveling Outside of the City Painting" or "Suburb Travels Painting". The title and composition suggests that they are on their way to a picnic in the countryside. Oddly the first character currently translates as "suburb" but this had a different meaning 1100 years ago in the scene this painting depicts.

The artist's name is Xue Wan, born 1958 in Jiajiang city, Sichuan Province. The title, his signature, and an indication that this painting was created in 2006 are contained in the Chinese characters written on the painting.

This was painted using watercolors on xuan paper (rice paper). It has been mounted with a shiny silk border making it ready-to-frame. It's very wide, so keep in mind that your framing cost will not be cheap.
