Morning Glories and Butterflies

This is the left scroll from a pair of hanging scrolls created as a coordinated set. It depicts a small cluster of blue morning glories that wrap around a thin stick of bamboo. The scene is further embellished with an exquisite rendering of a white butterfly, approaching the blue morning glories from the upper right. Executed in ink, color, and gold pigments on silk, the painting includes an artist’s signature and seal in the lower left corner.
