About the piece
Created in 1742 by Li Fangying, a prominent member of the 'Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou,' this album leaf exemplifies the scholarly tradition of plum blossom painting. The minimalist composition utilizes varied ink tones and confident, rhythmic strokes to convey the delicate yet hardy nature of winter blooms, a classic symbol of perseverance in East Asian art.
