About the piece

This elegant album leaf by the Qing dynasty master Hua Yan captures a contemplative moment of two women engaged in needlework, framed by a circular moon gate. Set within a delicate landscape of scholar's rocks and soft foliage, the work exemplifies the refined brushwork and sophisticated use of negative space characteristic of the period.
