The inscription indicates that this artwork was painted in 2010 by Jian-Qiu at the Qing-Feng studio.
This painting has a simple muted background style but incorporates a lot of detail in the foreground subject of the artwork. This painting is a style of Chinese artwork that has been around for thousands of years.
This artwork is completely hand-painted and is mounted to a handmade silk wall scroll in my Beijing workshop.
The artist's name is 
(Wang Jian-Qiu). He lives in Jinan, the capital city of Shandong Province in Northern China (about 5 hours south of Beijing). I was introduced to this artist's work at Qin Xia's studio in Jinan. This artist has been a long time friend of Qin Xia (You may recognize Qin Xia's name from artwork in our flowers and birds category). Wang Jian-Qiu also does some great detailed beautiful woman paintings, and occasionally does some landscapes for us as well.
