"Plum" is a delicate fan painting by Jin Lan, a renowned Chinese artist of the 19th century. Created in 1886, the artwork depicts a blossoming plum tree in delicate brushstrokes, with the artist's inscription on the upper section of the fan. This fan painting exemplifies the Qing Dynasty's artistic tradition of depicting nature in a refined and minimalist style, capturing the essence of the subject with graceful lines and subtle washes. The fan is currently held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, a testament to Jin Lan's artistic legacy.
