The print is made after a large-scale triptych oil painting, part of a series of still-life paintings playing off the artist's influences. The work plays off the traditional Chinese art practice of the copying and reproduction of ink drawings and calligraphy, fused with the perspective of a realist Western still life. Other works in the series juxtapose calligraphic texts, Chinese ink drawings, and book reproductions of the artist's western influences, such as Francois Millet.
