This very esthetic nude, which was accidentally found in internet and which comes from one Art Gallery in Xian only supperficially focuses on women's body. Figure of filigree women at the front recalls very suggestively the figure of Courbet's Real Allegory (1855) and turns ours reception in other direction.
Relation between two figures seen to be paralel. Their juxtaposition to the background exposes the same problem. Field of the "paint in paint" from Courbet's representation seem to be as much flat in comparison with representation of the model, as traditional chinese fresco in confrontation with 3-dimensional figure in the forderground of the paint from Xian's Gallery.
