Lot Essay

(US$32,300-45,200)

The subject is the Tibetan women, while the centre of the painting is the child under the care of her mother. The dazzling sky blue almost make blind the women's eye, yet the child's eyes are still wide open and look straight to the outsiders. What the grown-up lack is the curiosity and passion towards life.
