A close up view from this painting.
This painting depicts a riverside scene in China. The title, written in Chinese on this painting can be translated as "Family by the Water". The rest of the characters indicate that this either depicts or was painted in Hebei Province, the year painted (2004), and the artist's signature.
This painting is by 
(Zhang Jun-Guo) from near Jinan in the Shandong Province of China.
The artist used watercolors on xuan paper (known incorrectly as rice paper in the west). The painting was then taken, in raw form, to our workshop in Beijing where it was mounted with a silk border. This border can be used during the framing process in lieu of western-style matting.
