Spring returns to the earth, with peach blossoms in full bloom, just as this scroll painting by Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) artist Zou Yigui (1686-1772) depicts. A peach tree gracefully enters the scene against a backdrop of Chinese roses, with its delicate and elegant colors showcasing the unique charm of peach trees. The painting, embodying the auspicious symbolism of prosperity and health, is in the permanent collection of the Palace Museum.
