As one of the most eminent Chinese realism artists who paints in the Classical style, Wang Yidong sensitively rendered the idyllic culture of the Yimeng Mountain region. With his superior oil painting techniques and nuanced brushstrokes, he was able to convey the serene beauty of the young woman in the work. In Sketch for Crepuscule, a preadolescent village girl gingerly carries an oil lamp that appears to be of great sentimental value to her. The way in which she turns around and gazes at the viewer is reminiscent of 17th century Dutch master Johannes Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring. Her expression and body language are charming yet subtle. The painting captures the delicate moment when the girl wishes to speak but refrains from doing so. Her cryptic countenance mesmerises the viewers and inspires interpretations.

作為中國寫實主義古典風格的代表畫家，王沂東以其精湛的油畫技法與細膩筆觸，描繪帶有濃厚沂蒙山區風情、唯美恬靜的少女。《黃昏》中略帶稚氣的鄉村少女，像是呵護珍貴之物般，小心翼翼的手持油燈。少女轉頭望向觀者的神情與姿態，頗有十七世紀荷蘭大師維梅爾《戴珍珠耳環少女》畫中人物的韻味，少女欲言又止、令人參不透的神情，讓人看至入迷。
