Handscroll in ink on paper with calligraphy at left, flowering branches at center, and a plum branch by a rock at right.

Plum Blossoms and Peonies

A long handscroll in black ink on paper: a column of calligraphy at left, a flowering branch with blossoms and leaves at center, and a bare plum branch above a rock at right. Red seal impressions mark the paper, and the brushwork is loose and fluid.

Look closer: Small red seal impressions sit along the lower right edge of the scroll.
