This original contemporary Chinese ink and watercolor painting measures 27 by 53 inches, and 31 by 75 inches, including the silk brocaded scroll it is mounted on.

It has the seal and signature of the artist, Jiao Loushi, on the upper left hand edge. It also has one collector's seal in the lower right corner.

The subject is a view of a temple in a high mountain landscape with waterfalls and trees.

It is in excellent condition.

Chinese 20th Century paintings have been an excellent investment lately as prices have been escalating dramatically in both auctions and private sales.
