Japan: 'A Chinese Beauty'. Hanging scroll painting by Maruyama Okyo (12 June 1733 - 31 August 1795), 18th century. Maruyama Okyo, born Maruyama Masataka, was an artist of the Edo Period who specialised in painting in a traditional Chinese style combined with Western elements such as perspective. This features in 'Portrait of a Chinese Beauty' with the use of reflection (albeit inaccurately rendered) in the mirror. He founded the Maruyama school of painting and it proved a success with laypeople, despite the criticism of his fellow artists for his slavish devotion to natural representation.
