Green lotus seed pods and fallen pink-tipped petals by Hu Zhengyan, from the Ten Bamboo Studio book printed in colour in Nanjing in 1633. In Chinese, the word for lotus seeds sounds like a wish for children, one after another, which gives this quiet still life a hopeful meaning. For someone starting a family, or anyone who loves classic Chinese art.
