- Physical Description
- The branches of a plum tree stretch skyward, skillfully utilizing the vertical space of this hanging scroll. Black dots are used as accents along the branches, making them look knotted and full of texture. These heavy features are offset by the delicate depiction of plum blossoms. Calligraphic text is in the upper right corner, with two seals.
- Subject Matter
- A native of southwest China, Li Jishou was most famous for his ink paintings of plum blossoms executed in the style of Jin Nong (1687–1764). Li includes an inscription in squared-off characters that are an homage to Jin Nong’s distinctive calligraphic style.
