Simply painted Chinese watercolour painting full of ancient Chinese symbolism. Painted in a traditional Chinese style, the oriental figure is wearing Chinese robes and is seated on the ground, watching two Chinese crickets. The picture is mounted onto a piece of thin card and is sold unframed. Chinese crickets are seen as harmonious creatures due to their night time songs. They are symbolic of luck, and are also seen as a protective symbol, and guardians of property. This is because they will stop singing when danger is nearby or when someone is approaching. The ensuing silence is seen as a warning of danger or intruders.
