Title:
Calendar poster of The Kwong Sun Co., Ltd.

Content:
In bringing together Western and Chinese techniques, Kwan Wai-nung applied the techniques of chiaroscuro and perspective in this painting. The crisp lines gave the heptachord, the table on which the teapot was set, and the screen at the back a three-dimensional sense. A sense-of-depth was successfully created by the clever arrangement of the objects. Chiaroscuro was applied on the attire of the male servant, creating a realistic scene using the sharp shadows.

Time: 1926
