Lotus Flowers and Birds (荷花禽鳥)

This painting depicts two ducks resting among lotus flowers. Rendered with delicate brushwork, the ducks are primarily in shades of gray with touches of blue, adding vibrant colors. They tuck their heads under their wings, conveying a tranquil moment by the water. The lotus flowers are portrayed in pink tones, symbolizing purity and beauty. These blossoms complement the gray hues of the ducks, creating a harmonious visual balance. The dark lotus leaves contrast with the delicate petals of the blooming lotuses, enhancing the depth of the scene.
