I was at an art museum and I saw this painting from 1625. It’s by Gerrit van Honthorst and is called “Smiling Girl, a Courtesan, Holding an Obscene Image,” and it basically is every person on this website.

Hong Ling (洪凌) (1955, China)
Abstract landscapes
Hong Ling is a contemporary Chinese painter, and an example of a prominent oil painter within Chinese landscape painting, which typically prefers ink.
He began in a figurative style with explorations of purely abstract art, before during the 90s settling on a style of landscape painting which was focused on colour hues, and reached a level of great sophistication in the 2010s, with different paintings seamlessly shifting between the spectrum of recognisably representative of leaves, depth of field, mountains and fog, to total abstraction while retaining a naturalistic purpose in its colouration representing seasons and weather.
