A painting by Filipino master Fernando Amorsolo that has not been shown to the public is now on display at the Galeria De las Islas in Intramuros, Manila.

"Planting Rice" is an oil on canvas painting measuring 34 by 48 inches and signed by Amorsolo. He painted it in 1935, when noted sculptor Anastacio Caedo acquired the painting directly from the National Artist himself. It was later bought by a private collector. — BM, GMA News
