Zou Chuan An Traditional Chinese Painting Cicada On Willow

‹ ›

This is a freehand flower-and-bird painting by Zou Chuan'an, a famous modern Chinese meticulous painting master. The hazy spring willow shade background is rendered with soft green ink wash, with slender willow threads outlined by simple strokes. A delicately depicted cicada clings to the willow thread. With vertical calligraphy inscriptions and red seal stamps on the right, the work combines meticulous detail and freehand artistic conception, full of fresh elegant oriental aesthetic charm.
