Description
Ripe lychees hang in a vibrant cluster, their red skins contrasting sharply with surrounding green leaves, rendered with the economy of just a few assured brushstrokes on silk. The lengthy inscription quotes a classical poem describing lychees reddening on rain-washed mountain tops above the Jin River, with taverns lining the Thousand-Mile Bridge below. The verse anchors the simple still-life subject in a rich literary landscape of travel, abundance, and longing.
