Painting in ink and colours on paper by Wang Xuetao, combined with a rubbing of an archaic bronze vessel, fang ding.
Inscribed:
富貴fu gui 'Wealth and Richness', (also a name for peonies)
國檯兄王 guotai xiong wang 'Guotai's older brother/friend Wang'
壬辰長夏 renchen chang xia 'in the summer of 1952' .
擬白陽山人灋(法)於瓦壺齋 ni baiyangshanren fa yu wahuzhai 'painted after Baiyang shanren when I stayed in my studio wahu (the Ceramic Pot)
Baiyang shanren: pseudonym of the Ming flower painter Chen Chun 陳淳
It is not known who Guotai is. He could have been the maker of the rubbing.
In the 19th century, a new wave came up in the painting style, which showed bright and natural colors, but remained consistent with tradition, often combining the painting with an ancient subject or piece of art.
