The Painting

Vladimir Tretchikoff's Chinese Girl (1952) — known affectionately as The Blue Lady — is one of the best-selling art prints of the 20th century. Painted in Cape Town from a chance encounter with a young Chinese-Malay woman named Monika, Tretchikoff rendered her in his signature palette of cool jade and cerulean blues, set against a luminous, otherworldly glow. Her serene, slightly melancholic gaze has captivated collectors for over seven decades, making her a defining icon of mid-century kitsch elevated to fine art. Once dismissed by critics and adored by millions, Chinese Girl now commands serious auction prices and hangs in major collections worldwide.
