Orchids

Description Conservation Provenance Inscription Credit

Description Jin Liying [Chin Li-ying] writes on her image of delicately rendered orchids that she has difficulty painting this subject, because her mind is consumed by the princely fragrance of the brushwork of the famous Ming-dynasty artist Tang Yin [T'ang Yin] (1470-1523).
