There is no signature on this picture, and it is sealed with the seal of “Hou Sun, the founder of the country”. It has the seal of “Unexpectedly obtained after 50 years”, the seal of “Shanyin Ren’s Treasure” and the seal of “Zhenting Guyuan” on the lower right corner
There are not many works on the subject of flowers and birds that show the snow scenery, because the winter scenery is the most monotonous in the four seasons, and the painting is limited. This unique painting shows an ancient plum blossom in the snow, attracting sparrows to sing in the branches. A few faint plum flowers, a few green bamboo leaves, and a few lively birds reveal their business in the bleak snow in winter.
