Description
This painting, titled "Lotus and Dragonfly," was created by the artist Gao Ke, showcasing his exquisite skills in traditional Chinese detailed brush painting. The artwork depicts a tranquil scene in a lotus pond, with a delicate dragonfly perched above a blooming lotus. The petals are soft pink, contrasting sharply with the gray-green lotus leaves, creating a serene and beautiful image. The inscription "風定蓮池自在香" ("When the wind is still, the fragrance of the lotus fills the air"), a verse by the poet Qin Shaoyou, implies that the lotus's fragrance becomes more profound when the air is calm. This painting is not only a visual delight but also reflects a sense of tranquility and natural harmony, leading viewers to appreciate the peaceful interaction within the lotus pond. Such a work would be an excellent choice for collectors and enthusiasts of traditional Chinese art.
