流風回雪月更白。 癸卯秋,婺州戴牧於湖上
1 seal of the artist, 戴牧
This painting, titled "Snow-colored Hydrangea," depicts a cluster of hydrangea flowers, closely packed and delicately formed, their color resembling snow white, contrasting with the green leaves in the painting to enhance the visual depth. The petals of the hydrangea are thin and translucent, resembling light snowflakes, filled with a soft and fresh aura. Beside the painting, the inscription "流風回雪月更白" (The wind returns the snow, making the moon even whiter) poetically describes how the flowers appear even more immaculately white as if brushed by a gentle breeze, expressing the purity and tranquility of the natural landscape. This verse not only elevates the artistic realm of the painting but also deepens the viewer's experience of the scene. Overall, the composition of the painting is simple yet exquisite. Dai Mu uses delicate brushwork and controlled ink techniques to perfectly capture the unique beauty and natural elegance of the hydrangea.
