"Young Singer" is a fine example of Jin Shangyi’s (靳尚谊) work and an old-school Neoclassical oil painting. The subject is famous Chinese singer, Peng Liyuan (彭丽媛). Jin painted a classic half-length portrait of the young Peng, not only producing an excellent likeness of her, but also her state of mind and calm, dignified nature. Peng sits in a modern blue office chair with her dark hair styled in a classic ponytail. She looks directly at us with a clam expression like she is about to smile. She's wearing a simple, dark-colored sleeveless dress. Her posture is upright and composed, with her hands clasped in her lap. Her warm skin tone is rendered with subtle variations in shading, suggesting depth and realism. Peng is a Chinese contemporary folk singer and the wife (since 1987) of Xi Jinping (习近平), current General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party and President of China. Peng gained popularity as a singer from regular TV like the annual CCTV New Year's Gala and has won honors in many singing competitions nationwide. In 1986, she received the Plum Blossom Award, China's highest theatrical award, for her lead role in "The White Haired Girl." In 2014, Peng was listed as the 57th Most Powerful Woman in the World by Forbes. Jin was a key initiator of Neoclassical style painting in China, which emerged after the Rural Realism movement and can be described as a kind of "new realism" based on academic art. Drawing on the Academic Classicism movement of France, Neoclassical works depict simple, reserved figures using soft delicate brushwork. The elegant tranquil tones of such paintings distinguish them from the bold strokes used in Soviet oil painting that was common in China during this era. Emulating the composition of the famous Mona Lisa, Jin replaced Leonardo da Vinci's landscape background with a landscape painting by Fan Kuan (范寬 aka Fan Zhongzheng), a Chinese landscape painter of the Song dynasty, as a nod towards traditional Chinese culture.
