Paintings after Ancient Masters: Lotus and Rocks

Chen Hongshou

Cleveland Museum of Art

Beige-colored artwork on textured paper, featuring a large gray rock on the left side, with dark spots and lines. The rock sits in water with ripples around its base. A lotus plant rises on the right, with large rounded leaves and a tall stem with one white flower at the top. Another stem with three white flowers emerges from behind the rock. Dark lily pads float on the water around the rock. Chinese calligraphy runs vertically on the left edge, accompanied by two red seals, one below the text and one in the bottom-right corner. A beige border surrounds the artwork, set against a black background.
