Description
The painting depicts the artist's wife Gloria in dreamy repose and dressed in traditional Chinese embroidered silks. Mian Situ chose an elevated perspective to express a tranquil sinuous form. The three-dimensional composition was taken from the vantage point on top a ladder. Using the foreshortening method, Situ renders her left hand to seemingly move towards the viewer as it gently brushes against her face and invites us into her tranquil “Moment of Peace.”
