About the piece

Created in 1897 by artist Lu Hui, this painting captures a spirited rooster beside blooming hostas and garden stones. Executed in the traditional Chinese ink and wash style on silk, the work showcases the fluid brushwork and subtle, naturalistic palette characteristic of late Qing dynasty bird-and-flower painting. The composition is balanced by elegant calligraphy, adding a scholarly dimension to the piece.
