    I think it is Korean (based on the hairstyles and head gear). They appear to be threshing rice.

    Are you sure it is a lithograph? It seems it might be an ink and watercolor drawing.

    When looked at through a magnifying glass you can see the dots

    Ah. Probably better described as a "halftone" print reproduction. The process uses screens which separate the colors into the discrete dots. It can be done with several methods, including offset lithography. But calling it a lithograph might imply that it was an original print rather than a reproduction.

    why do you think it is a reproduction ?
    Thanks

    I am assuming that you are seeing a regular pattern of dots, which shows that the image was created by a photographic process that is used to copy and reproduce an original artwork. It is not a process used to create original artwork. The original of yours would have been done in ink and/or watercolor, which looks different under magnification.
