The artist behind this masterpiece remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to its allure. The vibrant colours used in this artwork bring life to both the musician and her surroundings. Dressed in traditional attire, she exudes elegance and grace as she skillfully plays the yunluo. This instrument consists of multiple gongs suspended on a frame, creating a mesmerizing symphony when struck with mallets.

It serves as a testament to the importance of music within Chinese society during that era.
