Chrysanthemums (Round Fans)
Pictures by Hu Zhengyan
Pale pink chrysanthemums and soft green leaves from Hu Zhengyan's Ten Bamboo Studio, a book printed in colour in Nanjing in 1633. Painted for a round fan, the chrysanthemum blooms late in the year when other flowers are gone, and so stands for a long and lively life. For someone whose years you want to celebrate.
