Huang Tu-shui (Chinese: 黃土水; pinyin: Huáng Tǔshuǐ; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: N̂g Thô͘-chúi; 1895–1930) was a pioneer of modern sculpture in Taiwan.

[1] From his youth, Huang was familiar with the traditional carving of Taiwan,[citation needed] and was influenced by modern Western styles during his studies in Tokyo.

[8][9] He submitted the sculpture (Bust of a) Girl into the exhibition, and later donated the work to Taiping Elementary School in Taipei.

[10][11] During the last decade of his life, the focus of his works shifted more and more to local Taiwanese motifs, with Huang showing a particular taste for depicting water buffalo, a symbol of rural Taiwan.

The work is on permanent display at Zhongshan Hall in Taipei, and Taiwanese writer Zhang zhao Xuan has described it as 'a national treasure'.
