Mua dan hua is a 1780 paint by Unknown, a Rococo painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a branch with two pink flowers and green leaves. The branch is growing out of a gray rock on the left side. The background is a light color. In the upper right corner, there are some Chinese characters written in black. The overall style of the painting is delicate and detailed, with soft colors and gentle lines.

A rectangular watercolour painting from around 1780, rendered in subdued tones, shows a plant emerging from rocks on the left side of the composition, with pointed green leaves and large, layered pink flowers that suggest the depiction of *mu dan hua*. The work was acquired from E. Parsons and entered the collection in 1889, as recorded in the Asia Department registers during a provenance research project in 2022.
