These framed paper-cuts feature the 12 beauties from Chinese classic novel, 'Dream of the Red Chamber'. The book is one of the most famous Chinese classic literatures. The paper cut artist took descriptions of the characters and re-designed them in paper cut form.
The novel, 'Dream of the Red Chamber' is remarkable not only in its huge cast of characters over 400 in all, most of whom are female and its psychological scope, but also in its precise and detailed observations of the life and social structures of 18th-century China.
