This picture has no style. The seal on one side is indistinct. There are two seals on the edge of the seal of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, “the treasure of the eighth expedition” and “the treasure of the Supreme Emperor”
This picture shows that the warm wind is intoxicating, and the fragrance of flowers seems to come from the picture. The sunflower is red, the gardenia is white, and the lily is yellow. The painter not only meticulously portrays the silk texture of the petals and the continuous veins of the leaves, but also strives to be realistic and appropriate in the color setting. The mallow uses white powder to dye the flowers, and gradually halos from the flower center to the outside with the dawn red. The rich color changes enhance the layering of the picture, and at the same time also renders the vitality of the flowers. Although the color of the leaves is light and light, the method of water halo shows the change of the depth of green, shows the infinite vitality of summer, and also sets off the beauty of the fragrance
There is a five-character poem written by the Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty on the opposite page: “Xia Hui has no name, but it contains wisdom. White and red, yellow forget worry and joy. It clearly explains five thousand, the beginning of nameless”. The next seal is “the treasure of the eight commandments” and “self-improvement”.
