Titled Harmony in the Mountain Stream, the artwork features the classical Song dynasty (ca. 960 to 1279) composition technique "One river, Two banks," renowned for its essence of simplicity and depth. The distant and foreground banks, painted with vast expanses of snow-covered emptiness, evoke a profound sense of boundless desolation and tranquility.
The focal point of the composition captures an early spring plum tree near the shore. Slender and deciduous, yet upright and tall, the plum tree stands in a graceful posture, adorned with delicately outlined snow lingering on its branches. Surrounded within the austere landscape, the plum tree is dynamically juxtaposed with the swirling whirlpools in the middle, alluding to the pulsating vitality of life despite the absence of inhabitable settlement.
Celebrated for her mastery of the purest mineral pigments, the artist rendered the expansive snow in in a palette of ethereal white and subtle grey tones, accentuated by ocher hues, contrasting with the lively stream in the middle, portrayed in deep indigo and inky pigments.
