Orchid with a Broken Branch (折枝蘭花)

The painting depicts a broken orchid that has fallen to the ground, with the roots of another orchid cluster in the upper left corner of the painting. The inscription on the painting quotes a poem by a Tang Dynasty poet: 'Where clouds and moon sorrowfully return, the mountains in my hometown of Luonan were very clear. How can a single flower bloom, spreading spring dreams across Jiangtan?' It expresses the painter's longing for home, akin to the fragrance of the orchid—subtle and lingering.
