The Fan Page of the Blue, Bamboo and Stone Painting, Ming Dynasty, Ma Shouzhen’s painting, gold paper, ink brush, 17.8 cm in length and 49.8 cm in width
The fan page has its own title: “Written on the Mid-Autumn Day of the Jiawu Festival. Xiang Lan Ma Shou Zhen Zi.” The seal is “Xiang Lan” Bai Wenyin, “Shou Zhen Xuan Zi” Zhu Wenyin. “Jiawu” is the 22nd year of Wanli (1594) in the Ming Dynasty, when Ma Shouzhen was 47 years old
In the works, Lanzhu has smooth strokes and elegant lines. The moss on the ground is casually stained, and the ink spots are gathered and scattered. The stone is randomly drawn with a brush, matched with orchids and bamboos, showing the plain beauty of the picture
The author is good at drawing orchids. The orchid, which is called a gentleman, has become a symbol of her inner feelings. Painting has become a means for her to “express her aspiration” and “express her feelings”. At the same time, she also uses painting orchids to make friends and help her. Therefore, her works do not pay much attention to the detailed description of the external form of Lan, but focus on writing the internal spirit of Lan, in order to express the ease of mind
