Zing zhao lan is a 1780 paint by Unknown, a Rococo painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a branch with leaves and flowers. The leaves are green, and the flowers are white. The branch is curvy and has some brown spots on it. The painting is very detailed, with thin lines that show the texture of the leaves and flowers. The background is a light color, which helps the branch and flowers stand out.
