Untitled is a 1885 paint by Peichun Zhou, a chinese_orthodox_school work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
You see a man in robes pointing at a flat diagram on the ground. A smaller figure kneels beside him, listening close. A brush draws the scene in soft, quick strokes, blending colors smoothly. This painting comes from a 200-page album showing Chinese trades and jobs. A European owner scribbled notes in pencil under each picture. The artist mixed Impressionist light with detailed Realist figures. Look for more in the Victoria and Albert Museum.
