Description
The prominent space of this painting is divided into eight sections. Four of them depict young Chinese ladies wearing various colors of clothes, and the other four depict middle-aged Chinese officers who are wearing green military uniforms. The background of these figures are painted in red. The artist utilized the red wall as a visual motif to set the bottom of this oil painting. At the lower-center of the composition, a large alarm clock is painted in white, black and gray. Inside the clock, the artist utilized very thin strokes to illustrate one scene of a Ming dynasty couple flirting from the Chinese novel “The Golden Lotus” , and it is depicted in a muddy yellow background. See link below for the back of this photograph. (Yifan Shang ‘25)
