Wang chooses 12 Chinese representatives from all seven continents and paints them in this painting with a length of 2.012 meters and a width of 2.012 meters. In her painting, 12 Chinese representatives are on a dragon boat which sails in the Yellow River and the Great Wall is served as the background. "2.012” means the year of 2012. The year of Dragon comes every 12 years. As you can see, 2012 is the year of Dragon as well as the twelfth year in the 21st century. Thus, she painted 12 Chinese representatives from 7 continents, covering politics, business, research, sports, entertainment and other industries. Some netizens tried to compare ‘Dragon Seed’ with ‘The Last Supper’ created by Leonardo da Vinci. Can you find some similarities between these two pieces of paintings?
