In the picture, the plum branches are thin and vigorous, with sparse flowers and beautiful stamens on the branches. An embroidered eye stands on the branches, singing and looking forward to each other, and the beautiful plum flowers form an interesting contrast. Although there are not many scenes in this picture, it is quite beautiful and moving. The plum flower painted is the palace plum. After continuous pruning, the traces of artificial decoration are heavy. The painting of this kind of plum is fine and delicate, the color is thick and heavy, and it has a sense of wealth. Such style and interest are favored by the court, which clearly represents the aesthetic meaning of the royal family.
