Upon seeing the painting for the first time, Deng Tao was stunned...
As everyone knows, Mu Chenyan became famous as a young artist and is most skilled at traditional Chinese painting; even her calligraphy could rival that of the President of the Jingdu Calligraphy Association. However, the painting of hers now on display at the art gallery of Beicheng University's School of Fine Arts was a sketch.
And it was a sketch that Deng Tao knew all too well.
The painting depicted a little girl, about three years old, with her arms open, chasing butterflies in the garden. The girl's face was not shown; only a profile and her back were visible, yet even so, one could see the liveliness and vivacity of the little girl.
In the lower right corner of the painting was Mu Chenyan's personal seal, proof that this work was indeed created by her.
The little girl chasing butterflies...
