Page from Shi Zhu Zhai

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A page from a book or album features an ink and color painting on paper. A tree branch with small flowers and leaves extends from the bottom-left corner to the top-center. The branch is mostly bare with sparse clusters of pink flowers and green leaves. A triangular shape formed by two thin lines appears at the top of the branch. A large pink flower cluster and brown roots are at the bottom-left. Five lines of black text and one red square seal are on the right edge. The background of the painting is off-white with darker edges.
