Chen Ching-Hui (1911-1968)

Eastern Gouache

Length:73.5 x Width:88 (cm)

The subject is depicted from the side with her head slightly tilted to the side and downwards. Her eyelids are lowered and she has a pensive expression on her face. This is an exquisite depiction of the bashful manner of a bride. Her extended pose, as she is seated on the floor, provides contrast. There is the fusion of flowing calligraphy lines. Her clothing is soft and loose. The bright colors express the joy of marriage. The bride has her head down and is silent, expressing her state of mind. Behind her is a plain background.
The artist used resplendent colors and elegant brushstrokes to depict her raven black hair, delicate hands and flowing formal attire. He also brought out her spirit and characteristics. From this work, it is possible to see this artist's sharp eye and masterful ability to paint what he observed.
