Original Panda Painting by Soo-Ji

This is a small-format original painting depicting a giant panda amidst a bamboo background. The artwork appears to be executed in oil or acrylic on a canvas board or mounting. The panda is rendered with a focus on its distinctive black and white patterns, shown in a seated or reclining pose chewing on bamboo. The style is representational with expressive brushwork, particularly visible in the green and brown bamboo stalks in the background. A notable feature is the artist's signature 'Soo-Ji' followed by the number '98' (likely 1998) located in the lower right corner. The painting is housed in an elaborate, deep-set professional framing system. The frame features a wide, champagne-silver or tarnished gold metallic outer molding with a distressed patina, followed by a multi-stepped white fabric-covered liner (mat) that creates a 'shadow box' effect, giving the small artwork significant visual depth. The craftsmanship of the framing indicates a high-end presentation relative to the size of the piece. Condition appears good, with no visible flaking or cracking of the paint surface, though the frame shows intentional aged distressing and potential light surface dust on the matting. The style is late 20th-century contemporary animalier art.
