This Mongolian girl with her beautiful face and her long ponytail looks really cute. She looks back over her shoulder with a gentle smile. She is like a new branch in spring, full of vigor and hope.

This is one of our favorite prints at artelino. Different from the Japanese printmaking tradition, the depiction of beautiful women is rather rare among modern Chinese printmakers. A pity, we think!
