About the piece

Created by late Ming dynasty master Chen Hongshou, this painting depicts two scholars seated in a tranquil garden setting. The work showcases the artist's signature archaistic style, featuring gnarled branches, decorative foliage, and a sophisticated interplay of blue and green tones against the warm silk background.
