Qiu hai tang is a 1780 paint by Unknown, a Qing Painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a close-up of a plant with bright pink flowers and green leaves. The flowers are clustered in small groups, while the leaves vary in shape and size. The background is a soft, pale green with hints of a rocky hillside. The artist used watercolors to create smooth, blended colors, especially in the leaves. The pink flowers stand out against the softer greens. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more paintings like this.
