About this work

This painting shows a person dressed in a long blue robe and light blue pants. They’re holding a folded fan in one hand and a woven basket over their shoulder. The face is smooth and pale, with simple black hair and a calm expression. The basket and fan suggest they might be carrying food or supplies. The soft colors and gentle lines give it a quiet, peaceful feel. If you like this style, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more works like it.
