About the piece

Created in 1824 by Hu Jiusi, this album leaf demonstrates the refined 'bird-and-flower' tradition of Chinese painting. The composition expertly balances the delicate, fine-lined details of the grasshopper and flower with the bold, calligraphic strokes of the leaves and the accompanying scholarly inscription.
