"Fruit Study" by Won Tai

With soft yet clear color, this Qing-dynasty watercolor by artist Won Tai depicts freshly snipped, fruit-laden branches presented in a fine porcelain bowl. Exploiting the medium’s sheer color, the artist used a serene, pastel palette and a keen eye for detail in rendering the greenery and the bowl’s detailed blue-and-white decoration and intricately carved wooden base. Mounted on silk behind glass with vintage gilt frame.
