Wang Guxiang, Album of Flowers on fan leaves
Wang Guxiang's Album of Flowers on fan leaves is a ten leaf album executed in ink and colour on richly textured gold paper, exemplifying the refined literati painting tradition of the Ming Dynasty. Created by the artist between 1501 and 1568, the work demonstrates the characteristic delicacy and technical mastery of flower painting during this period, with each leaf presenting carefully composed botanical subjects rendered in the scholar painter's distinctive style. The use of gold paper as a ground provides an elegant, luminous surface that enhances the vibrant pigmentation and creates an intimate, precious quality appropriate to the album's intimate fan leaf format.
