An old plum tree breaks into pale yellow blossom beside a weathered garden rock, from Hu Zhengyan's Ten Bamboo Studio, printed in colour in Nanjing in 1633. In Chinese art the two stand for strength: the plum for flowering in the cold, the rock for never changing. For someone steady who keeps blooming through hard times.
