Dream of the Red Chamber

The Twelve Beauties of Jinling are twelve of the most beautiful and talented women in the Dream of the Red Chamber which is a traditional Chinese novel. Each of them is different and has a unique personality. They represent the perfect woman in the traditional Chinese aesthetic, but they all end tragically. Portraits for each of them will be made in the style of Art Deco and Chinese traditional patterns will be applied. Figures are based on their plots in the book.
