Gong Jufi

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The painting "Autumn Splendor" by Gong Jufi features a rounded square shape with curved corners. The dominant color is a light brown background resembling fabric texture. On the left side, a cluster of green leaves and small blue flowers with yellow centers is depicted. Two long, thin green stems with a few leaves extend from the flowers towards the top and right. A white butterfly with brown spots is positioned near the top left. Another butterfly with white and brown spots is on the right side. A green grasshopper is on the bottom right, next to a stem of grain. Two red stamps are present, one on the bottom right and one on the left side. The background behind the rounded square painting is beige with a light gray swirling pattern.
