About the piece
Painted in 1625 by the renowned Ming dynasty master Chen Hongshou, this work is an elegant example of traditional Chinese ink and color on silk. The composition highlights a gnarled, ancient tree whose jagged, almost architectural branches are softened by the appearance of fine pink blossoms and trailing vines, showcasing the artist's unique ability to blend strength with delicacy.
