Equestrienne, Tang dynasty (618–907), mid-8th century

Several nude people, each with a different skin hue, relax languidly underneath trees in a rural landscape. The shapes in this painting are simplified, soft. But overall they remain recognizable. Looking upward—toward the background—an oval-shaped portal in the tree copse opens toward a pink mirage. An unconcerned, utopian group, but in somber colors.
