人物画, or "figure painting," is a traditional form of Chinese art that focuses on depicting human figures. This genre often highlights the beauty, character, and emotions of the subjects, showcasing their clothing, posture, and expressions. Artists use various techniques to convey the personality and story of the figures, making it a rich and expressive art form. In人物画, artists may portray historical figures, mythological characters, or everyday people. The style can vary from realistic to more abstract interpretations, depending on the artist's intention. This art form is closely related to other traditional Chinese arts, such as 水墨画 (ink wash painting) and 工笔画 (meticulous brushwork).
