White Pear Blossoms in Moonlight (明月梨花白)

This is a meticulous bird-and-flower painting on a folding fan, inscribed “White Pear Blossoms in Moonlight.” Flowering pear branches form the main subject, with clusters of pure white blossoms accented by vivid red new leaves, creating a contrast of cool and warm tones. A white-crowned bird perches quietly on the branch, its feathers rendered in fine detail, while a delicate dragonfly in one corner adds a lively touch to the composition.
