Painting by Emma May Riley, ‘Glass of Water’ 2013. Oil on Canvas. Size 23.6 W × 35.4 H

The painting shown in the image is an oil-on-canvas work by the contemporary Chinese realist painter Liu Yuanshou. Born in Beijing in 1967, Yuanshou is known for his figurative realism, often depicting women in evocative, expressive poses, with bold splashes of red fabric.

Excellent shot.
