About the piece

Created by the renowned artist Chen Hongshou in 1625, this painting depicts delicate white lotus blossoms and expansive, perforated leaves rising behind a weathered rock formation. The work is characterized by the artist's distinctive, slightly archaic style and fine line work, capturing a serene moment in a traditional scholar's garden.
