About the piece
Painted in 1656 by the celebrated artist Xiang Shengmo, this album leaf depicts the blossoming plum, a traditional East Asian symbol of winter's end. The work masterfully balances the rough texture of the ancient branch with the ethereal delicacy of the white petals, complemented by fluid calligraphy and striking red seal marks.
