Chinese Girl (Shu Ching Yang)<>.

Color pastels and watercolor on cream wove paper, circa 1925. 865x560 mm; 24x22 inches. Ex-collection The Detroit Institute of Arts, Detroit, and Kraushaar Galleries, New York, with the gallery lables. In excellent condition with fresh colors.

The artist was still living at home in Ann Arbor, Michigan when the current work was painted, therefore it is likely that this was painted very early in his career. The return address as well as the name of the sitter appears on the Detroit Institute of Art's gallery label.
