Chinese pith paintings become more popular in the early C19th. They are are vibrant artworks created on soft, translucent pith paper, often mistaken for paintings on rice paper. Made from the Tetrapanax papyrifera plant, the pith’s unique cellular structure, similar to a wasp''s nest, enhances its translucency and reactivity to moisture. These paintings, mainly crafted for export to Europe, are known for their vivid colours and raised effects created with the use of thick gouache.
