This black and white ink drawing by the artist Jony, titled "Ling-Ti-Wa zittend naast een vissenkom," depicts a seated figure in a traditional Chinese outfit. The figure is surrounded by details that suggest a contemplative or introspective mood, such as the fishbowl and the hanging lantern. The artwork's small scale and delicate lines create a sense of intimacy, inviting the viewer to consider the figure's solitary reflection. This piece exemplifies Jony's artistic style, characterized by its stylized figures and the use of black ink on paper. The work was likely created between 1875 and 1925, a period of increasing interest in Eastern art and culture in the West. It's a testament to Jony's ability to capture the essence of a moment with minimal details, creating a powerful and evocative piece.
