This simple subject is made more interesting by the use of a pointillistic technique used by Wang Zenghua. Originally developed by the neo-Impressionist painter Seurat, the technique uses tiny dots of pure color which become blended in the viewer’s eye, with the aim of producing greater luminosity.
