Flores de Albaricoquero y Pavos Reales, Seda, 85x45
Two peacocks perch gracefully on a rugged rock beneath a gnarled apricot tree in full bloom, surrounded by vibrant red and white peonies. Ming Dynasty master Lu Ji captures the birds with meticulous detail, their long, eye-spotted tails cascading down the composition like a luxurious train. The golden-brown background, characteristic of aged silk, adds a warm, antique glow to this elegant celebration of spring and nobility.
