About the piece

Created in 1625 by the master painter Chen Hongshou, this work depicts a lady in a moment of quiet contemplation. Part of a series after ancient masters, the piece showcases Hongshou's characteristic refined brushwork and sophisticated use of negative space, typical of late Ming dynasty art.
