Zou YiGui (鄒一桂; 1686-1772) Chinese Qing Dynasty traditional scroll painting, ink on silk, hanging scroll, Signed.
Bright red and wash yellow pigmentation crescendos into layered petals forming the chrysanthemum bloom. Lithe brushwork creates silky smooth leaves that resemble outstretched hands begging for gold from the sun above. This painting adheres to the Gongbi style by capturing the outer realism of the flower while still hinting at the deeper spiritual beauty. Cursive script writing forms an array of characters at the upper right of the painting followed by two red artist seal marks.
