Seated Lady 

"Seated Lady" is a striking work by Lin Fengmian, a prominent figure in 20th-century Chinese art. The painting features a woman in a contemplative pose, her serene expression accentuated by the dark background. The use of simplified forms and bold lines, coupled with a vibrant palette, is characteristic of Fengmian's style, which blended Western influences with traditional Chinese art. The composition, with the woman centrally positioned and framed by a vase of flowers, evokes a sense of quietude and introspection, making this a captivating study of female representation within a distinctly Chinese context.
