Created in the late 18th century by an unknown artist, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of music and culture from that era. The vibrant colors used in this watercolour bring life to the scene, highlighting both the musician and her instrument. The yangqin, also known as a dulcimer, is portrayed with intricate details that showcase its unique design and craftsmanship.
