Ce qu'en dit le musée
Executed entirely in varying shades of ink, an undulating branch of blossoming plum sweeps gracefully across the paper and culminates dramatically in a single long tapering stroke. The subtle chromatic range of contrasting ink tones, the rich calligraphic variation of the brushwork, and the expressive lyrical flow of the overall composition mark this unique painting as a virtuoso performance of the highest technical and artistic merit.
