Apricot
Wu Xizai Chinese
Not on view
The cool, declarative simplicity of this apricot branch, painted as a gift, is complemented by Wu's inscription:
I once saw a handscroll by Chen Laolien [Chen Hongshou, 1599–1652], which the painter said was done in the style of a Yuan master, and I have imitated it.
