Vladimir Tretchikoff "Chinese Girl" (The Green Lady) Vintage Lithograph
"Which painting do you think is the most famous in the world? Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa? Botticelli's Birth of Venus?... Before you answer, let me tell you, it's the green-faced girl by Tretchikoff." — Tretchikoff & Hocking, Pigeon's Luck (1973)
This vintage print depicts "Chinese Girl," one of the highest-selling and most reproduced art prints of the 20th century. Known colloquially as "The Green Lady," it is Tretchikoff's most celebrated and iconic work.
The portrait captures the exotic charm of a young Chinese woman, distinctively characterised by an unconventional blue-green skin tone. This striking feature imbues the piece with an enigmatic aura, adding a unique dimension to Tretchikoff's exploration of feminine beauty. Her deferred gaze, combined with the blend of oriental styling and surreal colouration, results in a captivating visual experience that has secured its place as an icon of art history.
This is a genuine vintage lithograph from the 1970s, not a modern reproduction. It has been beautifully housed in a new custom-built timber frame, finished with a classic black Japan stain. The artwork is professionally protected by UV and anti-glare glass to ensure its clarity and preservation.
