Peach Blossoms Beyond the Clouds (堆雲臥花圖)

Beyond layers of ink-dark mountains and a drifting sea of clouds, pink peach blossoms burst into view, their vivid color cutting through the predominantly monochrome landscape. The composition moves from misty distance to sharp foreground detail, creating a powerful sense of depth. The inscribed Tang poem, 'The face is gone, who knows where; the peach blossoms still smile in the spring wind,' adds a bittersweet literary dimension, linking seasonal renewal to memory and longing.
