Description

This is one of the twelve pages from the album titled "Flowers of Prosperity" created by Mr. Li Hongzhao. This painting exquisitely depicts red chrysanthemums using the freehand ink painting technique. The chrysanthemums in the painting are vividly colored, and the use of varying shades enhances the sense of layering and detail, making the entire work lively and expressive. Light ink is used for the leaves, while dark ink outlines the veins, and the background is dotted with a faint ocher color, creating a misty and poetic atmosphere. The inscription quotes a poem by Yuan Zhen, a poet from the Tang Dynasty: "It's not that I favor chrysanthemums over other flowers, but when these bloom, no others are left." This reflects the painter's appreciation for the unique beauty of chrysanthemums. This set of album pages can be collected individually or as a complete set of twelve pages. If purchased as a whole, the twelve paintings will be housed in a hard case with a cover title.
