EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a fascinating glimpse into the daily life of a man during the Ming Dynasty in China. Titled "Man cleaning his ear" this ink and color on silk artwork showcases meticulous attention to detail and skilled craftsmanship. The image depicts a male figure engaged in an intimate act of personal hygiene, delicately cleaning his ear. The artist's use of vibrant colors brings life to the scene, while the intricate brushwork adds depth and texture to every stroke.
