The white rose in the painting has huge flowers, luxuriant branches and leaves, and is dazzling. The painter drew the flower shape with a fine brush, dyed the petals with white powder halo, and painted the branches and leaves with dark and light juice green. The brushwork is rigorous and meticulous, and the painting style is beautiful and lively, which is quite lively, representing the typical style of the flower and bird painting of the Southern Song Academy of Painting
The flower-and-bird painting of the Song Dynasty Academy of Painting inherited the tradition of the Five Dynasties and made innovations on this basis. Huang Quan’s rich style of “sketching and filling colors, with rich and colorful purports” has dominated the painting world for nearly a hundred years. Its painting method first draws the outline with extremely fine lines, and then applies heavy colors, layers of halo dye, often covering the black lines, showing a very stable, delicate, luxurious and rich charm.
