明 胡正言 《十竹齋書畫譜》 四開 木版畫|Page from the Ten Bamboo Studio Manual of Painting and Calligraphy is a 1633 ink by Hu Zhengyan, a Baroque work, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This painting shows a still life of a bowl of fruit and a piece of coral. The bowl is white and has a scalloped edge, and it's filled with yellow fruit that looks like lemons or limes. The coral is a dark gray color and has a wavy, organic shape. The painting is done in a style that's reminiscent of Chinese art, with bold lines and bright colors. The artist has used a technique called cross-hatching to create texture and depth in the painting. If you're interested in learning more about this style of painting, you might want to check out the work of Hu Zhengyan, a Chinese artist who was active during the Baroque period.
