Desk Album: Flower and Bird Paintings (Peony)

Zhang Ruoai

Cleveland Museum of Art

Two pink peony flowers with green stems and leaves on a beige background. The flowers are on the left side, one above the other. The top flower has a green stem that bends to the right, with a small green bud at the end. The bottom flower's stem also bends to the right, merging with the stem of the top flower. The stem continues to the right side, where it has several green leaves and a small pink bud. The leaves are shaped like ferns, with many pointed tips. The background is beige, with some darker spots and lines. A vertical line down the center indicates the image is of an open book.
