Ladies wearing flowers 簪花仕女圖

By Zhou Fang

46cm x 180cm

Tang Dynasty

This delicate and sexy painting is very special. These ladies themselves are already virtus. On their faces with heavy make- up are the red cherry- like lips and slender eyebrows: The high topknots are full of flowers and beads. We can see their underwear with beautiful patterns under their clothes are made of light, thin yarn. This picture shows the loneliness, depression and special deposition of female.

 

 

 

Zhou Ye Bai

By Hon Gong

Tang Dynasty

"Zhao Ye Bai" is the name of one of Li Long Ji's beloved horses. This horse has a round, fat body and short, small legs. Although it looks clumsy, it shows its expression: It raises its head and legs high, trying to escape. However. It is meaningless to it because it is tied onto a steel pole. The pole is in the middle, and it increases the steadiness. The horse bitterly stares at all those looking at the painting as if it is begging for compassion. It seems that it is reflecting the tragedy of life in the courts.
