Description

This painting employs ink wash techniques to depict the vibrancy and elegance of pink lotus flowers, as well as the lush green leaves. The lotus flowers appear especially pure and ethereal against the backdrop of ink-painted leaves. The inscription on the painting, "高士有潔癖,美人無冶容," suggests that noble individuals possess a pure nature, and true beauties need no elaborate adornment. This mirrors the lotus flower's characteristic of rising unblemished from the mud. This phrase not only enhances the artistic depth of the work but also encourages viewers to contemplate inner beauty while appreciating the lovely lotus flowers.
