About the piece

Dating to 1622, this anonymous painting from the Metropolitan Museum of Art elegantly captures the 'Three Friends of Winter' motif—specifically the resilient plum blossom and bamboo. The delicate brushwork and muted, warm palette are rendered on a silk ground that carries a rich historical patina, making it a timeless addition to any space seeking a touch of classical East Asian aesthetic.
