Plum and Camellia in a Bronze Vase
A vase holds a flowering branch of white plum blossoms and red camellias, beside a yellow incense burner, a brush holder with a calligraphy panel, and a leaf-covered tray. Delicate outlines and pale hand-applied color fill the sheet, with a column of handwritten verse at upper right.
Look closer: A small striped animal, possibly a cat, rests on the leaves near the incense burner.
