Nostalgia

Jing comes from Inner Mongolia, one of the largest provinces of China. It is located next to Mongolia and their culture has a lot of Mongolian influences. The country consists of endless steppe with lots of horses and even more sheep. The painting, made from leather, depicts a few tents, horses and a man playing a traditional instrument. Jing Zhang received it from his mother when he moved to Delft. It has a prominent place in his apartment, so he feels at home in this faraway country.
