Early Chinese Immigrants Painting Oil on Canvas, Charles E. Chambers, 1920s

This is a masterfully painted narrative in alternating light and darks and greens, grays and blacks.

"'I will not heed these old ones,' said the maid. 'Let us flee together somewhere and when they see us gone, for very shame they will let us wed.' But before the young man could match his ardor to hers the maid's father stood there at the door.'" Work is unframed
