Generically, these canvasses could be described as “female beauties”, a traditional category of Chinese painting celebrating feminine beauty and sexual allure. But there is also a certain wistfulness to these portraits, a reflective quality, even a hint of melancholy, which adds depth and nuance to these studies of Chinese womanhood.
