Three Purities is a 1804 unspecified by Zhang Xiong, a qing_painting work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a tall, skinny tree with dark green needles and twisted branches. A few pink flowers bloom near the top, while the trunk is rough and covered in moss. Below, small plants with yellow flowers grow on the ground, and a few blue-green leaves peek out. The artist left a poem written in black ink along the top edge. It’s not clear what it says, but it adds a quiet layer to the scene. If you like this kind of nature painting, check out *xiaxing*.
