old woman reading , 1959
塑膠彩布本 Acrylic on canvas

這幅畫是在一個昏暗的房間裡,有一位緊握着書本的老婆婆正在專注投入地看書。她的姿勢和反射的光線看起來很自然,色調和形狀簡單,陰影統一。
女人是唯一的人物,是整幅畫的中心,卻又是和諧的,給人一種沉穩甚至可愛的感覺。

Set against a backdrop of a dimly lit room, the picture depicts an old lady, tightly holding a book in her hands, reading a book with intense concentration. Her profile and posture illuminated by the light are depicted in a natural appearance. The simple use of colours and shapes, as well as the delicate rendering of light and shades, add to the unity of the composition.
As the only figure depicted in the picture, the old lady is centre of attention in the composition with a harmonious quality. The old lady looks calm and composed, and the way she is absorbed in reading even looks cute.
