An Imitation of Beauty Paintings in Tang Dynasty， a Ming Dynasty（1368.1644） hanging scroll by Tang Yin， ink and color on paper， 149.3cm×65.9cm， in the collection of the Palace Museum， Taipei.
It is one of the most important works of Tang Yin. Despite that it is a reproduction of Tang painting， Tang Yin’s own styles can still be seen in both brushwork and coloring. Screen， bed， bamboo mat， old qin（a seven-stringed plucked instrument）， classic books and plum blossoms in the painting show painter’s identity as a scholar and his elegant inclinations. The scholar holds a painting scroll and concentrates on it. As wind blows curtains open， a lady with a just picked flower arrives， while another lady holding a vase in both hands is ready to arrange flowers.
