Chinese artist Hu Yongkai paints elegant Chinese ladies in a style reminiscent of Matisse and Modigliani.
His romantic paintings have a strong whiff of nostalgia, portraying a bygone age - ladies daydreaming, lazing around sitting on Qing Dynasty furniture with birdcages and fans,washing their hair in ponds.
