This particular work was birthed in Amsterdam by Chinese-Indonesian artist, Lee Man Fong. The artist goes beyond expressing ideals of the female form to regarding beauty through Lee’s eyes. This enigmatic pastel on paper emits an air of enigma and intrigue. One can’t help but wonder Lee’s perspective for this work.
