About the piece

This 1891 work by Ju Lian showcases the delicate 'boneless' painting technique characteristic of the Lingnan School. The composition brings together the seasonal beauty of narcissus flowers with the permanent, textured form of a scholar's rock, creating a serene and contemplative piece of traditional East Asian art.
