Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Chinese Paintings by Madame Wu Hsing-Fen, the Most Distinguished Paintress of Modern China: With Coloured and Collotyped Reproductions and Described in Anglo-Chinese
Although according to Chinese writers on pictorial art the first artist was a woman, yet lady-artists have always been scarce and much fewer than men in our history. Because of this, any Chinese lady who could paint was much respected and her work appreciated by the Chinese.
