Inheritance #6
Lady Resting in the Garden
Li Mei-shu
1935

A significant work in modern Taiwanese art history, this piece blends Western oil techniques with a dignified, realistic portrayal of local life. Li Mei-shu was a prominent figure in the "Rural Realism" movement, often focusing on the grace and resilience of women in his community while incorporating the vibrant, atmospheric light of the Taiwanese landscape.
