What year is Tao Bao Nv's work?

This is the work of Xie Chuyu, an associate professor in the Oil Painting Department of Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts and a painter of Guangdong Academy of Fine Arts.

Tao is an oil painting completed at the beginning of 1997. Tao's creation is due to three typical examples: a Qingdao native, a Shantou native and a mixed-race child. In Xie Chuyu's view, these three kinds of people are "hybrids" and the most beautiful. Once Tao came out, it moved the world with a combination of Chinese and western beauty. But it has also become the most pirated oil painting in the history of China oil painting, with more than one million times of piracy.
