A Rainy Day in Spring.China. 1990. Oil on canvas. 90.5 x 72cm. The standing young mother is holding a pale yellow umbrella above herself. Her daughter, embracting a lamb, has turned to her. Both are dressed in the costume of the Yi with pleated skirts and indigo blue colored jackets. The introverted face of the mother is impressively framed by her black headdress. The jewelry she wears at her ears, neck and wrists is depicted skilfully. The daughter is shown in profile, with a peaked cap and an additional cloth around the head. The black and white lamb nestles against her chest. In the background rises a high wall built from large and small stones, enclosing a courtyard with a house. The filigree branches of fruit trees with delicate white flowers are stretching above this wall and convey the impression of the fine, cold spring rain. The atmosphere captured in the picture is a serene but intense moment. Neither mother nor daughter make eye-contact to the viewer, nor to each other. Both are deeply absorbed in thoughts at this moment.The Yi people, one of China's 55 minorities, live mainly in the mountainous areas of the provinces of Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou. In addition to their own language, as well as indigenous ideograms, they cultivate their own costumes, which include wide, pleated skirts combined with jackets dyed in dark indigo blue. The sweeping, black headgear is characteristic for married women of the Yi. Sign.: Cong Lin 1990 (bottom right). On the back a handwritten note from a shipping within China. Later wooden frame.
