Ethnic Chinese Costumes

The artist Chen Shu Fen (陈淑芬) is best known for her paintings of beautiful women and handsome men. She has worked on a project in which she painted 56 Chinese ethnic groups from China. Each staying true to there original ethnic clothing.

I wonder why they always paint these figures with features that look more Western than Chinese.

You're right about the east/west thing. Background=East. Costume=West. But now the question is, are all 56 women different, or do some repeat?
