Bird and White Peony
Pictures by Hu Zhengyan
A small bright bird perches on a thorny branch above a garden rock and a white peony, in a colour print by Hu Zhengyan from the Ten Bamboo Studio, printed in Nanjing in 1633. In China the peony is the king of flowers, and here it wishes a new household good fortune. For someone settling into a new home, or anyone who loves quiet old art.
