What's unique about The Woman Who Delivered Flowers?

The coloring skills, distinct layers, faint colors of the face and the decoration of clothes in Beauty in Flowers are extremely ingenious. The lightness and softness of the veil and the moist luster of the skin are vividly painted, which shows that the author has a high degree of artistic skills and generalization ability.

The whole painting is divided into four parts, which describe women picking flowers, watching flowers, walking and playing with dogs respectively. The lines of the characters are concise, round and powerful, and the colors are rich but not vulgar. The author drew four concubines and two handmaids to tease dogs, hold fans, hold flowers and make butterflies to highlight the main characters in a growing way, which is a common expression in medieval figure painting. The dogs, cranes and flowers in the painting show that the characters are in the erotic palace.

The composition of the whole painting is tiled and painted, and the ladies before and after the scroll are looking back and looking after their pets, which brings together the activities of the characters in the whole scroll. The gauze skirt and flower bun of the maid-in-waiting were the clothes of that time. The tall bun is decorated with big peony and jasmine, which is elegant and beautiful against the background of black hair.

You Simiao is the main way to describe characters. His brushwork is light, gentle, even and peaceful, especially with the help of color, which successfully shows the texture of gauze and skin. The fine gauze on the artist's arm is dyed in light color, which is deeper than the exposed skin and lighter than gauze. It only reproduces smooth skin and transparent gauze, conveying a soft and quiet aesthetic feeling. The costumes of the ladies in the painting truly reflected the female fashion culture at that time.
