She is a model who harboured an ardent affection for the early European culture. It permeated every corner of her heart, from the grand architecture to the elegant costumes. Her dream was to have a portrait painted in the style of classical oil painting with herself dressed in an ancient costume.

She wandered through the world of art like a seeker until one day she stumbled upon me (the painter). He had delved into the techniques of classical masters and mastered them to perfection. When they met, it was as if fate had brought two kindred spirits together.

The model put on the exquisite ancient costume, I, with my brush, as if guided by the hands of time, meticulously portrayed her on the canvas. Every stroke seems to bridge the time travel between the present and the past, bringing her dreams to life vividly.

When she received the painting, she was overwhelmed with emotion. She wants to pass down this oil portrait of herself to her descendants, telling them that each stroke by an excellent painter carries years of skill and experience. This is the true rarity and value of art.
