Painted in 1697 by Zhu Da, also known as Bada Shanren, a Ming-dynasty prince turned monk-painter celebrated for his eccentric, deeply personal brushwork, this piece pairs waterfowl with the lotus, a flower long associated in Chinese art with Buddhist purity rising untouched from muddy water. Zhu Da's spare, expressive style, developed after the fall of the Ming dynasty, influenced generations of later Chinese painters. The work is held in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago.
Jacquard-woven both sides in soft, durable yarn; insert included.

It is priced like a splurge and feels like a fair buy.
Thank you for a fair review. We are working on the delivery estimates so they match what actually happens.
It arrived four days after I ordered and in perfect shape. Everything I like about lotus waterfowl is here and legible. It cost about twenty dollars more than I wanted to spend and I don’t regret it. Really no complaints worth writing down.
This has gotten more compliments than anything else we own. The reproduction of lotus waterfowl is faithful enough that I would buy another. Four stars and a short wish list.
This turned out better than the photos led me to expect.
The customer service here answered me on a Sunday. The packing was almost comical in how careful it was. ✨
