Xu Beihong painted a celestial nymph scattering flowers.
It sold for $440,000 (3.2M yuan).But some online comments are brutal:
“Vacant stare. Looks totally done with life.”
“Cover half her face — the other half is beautiful.”Painted in 1916, it blended Western watercolor shading with Chinese brush lines. Maybe the sadness was intentional?
