Description :
Reproduction painting on canvas of The Blue Lotus* comic book cover from The Adventures of Tintin - but the lettering is all in Chinese. Painting shows Tintin and his dog Snowy hiding in a jar as a large black dragon looks down at them from the red wall. Purchased by client in Shanghai's M50 District. (M50 is the contemporary art district where you can commission a reproduction of a famous painting or virtually any graphic. Our client is a fan of Tintin and Snowy, so what was more appropriate than The Blue Lotus cover in Chinese?) We've added a photo of the comic book cover so you can see the original in French - see last photo. Measures 17.75" H x 14" W x 1.75" D framed. *The Blue Lotus (French: Le Lotus bleu) is the fifth volume of The Adventures of Tintin, the comics series by Belgian cartoonist Hergé. Commissioned by the conservative Belgian newspaper Le Vingtième Siècle for its children's supplement Le Petit Vingtième, it was serialized weekly from August 1934 to October 1935 before being published in a collected volume by Casterman in 1936. Continuing where the plot of the previous story, Cigars of the Pharaoh, left off, the story tells of young Belgian reporter Tintin and his dog Snowy, who are invited to China in the middle of the 1931 Japanese invasion, where Tintin reveals the machinations of Japanese spies and uncovers a drug-smuggling ring. - Wikipedia Sound Estate Company does not appraise art or guarantee authenticity.
