Children Playing on a Winter Day
Appreciation of Dunhuang Fresco (Late Tang Dynasty)
Riding in the Snow Mountain
Four Goats |
Song Dynasty In a corner of a garden on a winter day the bamboos are still green and the white plum blossoms are in full bloom. Bright red blossoms break out on an early blooming camellia. Sister and brother are absorbed in playing with a kitten. The sister teases the cat with a colorful flag while protecting the brother with her other hand. The kitten pounces and romps. The painting exudes harmony and happiness. The hair of the two children is quaintly done and their dark eyes sparkle. This vivid picture was probably commissioned as a portrait of the children. |
