PROVENANCE:
The Collection of Mr. Tai Jing-Nong
+ OVERVIEW
This work by Jin Qinbo was kept into the collection of Tai Jing-nong who wrote a poem praising Jin’s use of colour and ink. Flowers were depicted in various forms, one blooming in its full form and one waiting to be in its full bloom. Such forms represent the flower's chastity. Literati in centuries appreciate flowers with a cup of wine during springtime. Such actions were suggested in the painting and the poem. Calligraphy of Tai was written in swift strokes and saturated ink yet dry at the tip of the brush. His poem echoes with the subject and adds a poetic touch to the painting.
