Orchid and Bamboo

This is a long scroll painting featuring orchid and bamboo, each depicted using different brush techniques. The orchid leaves are elongated and elegantly drawn, creating a soft and serene atmosphere. In contrast, the bamboo is rendered with wide spaces between its stalks and nodes, painted boldly with dark ink, capturing the bamboo's characteristic resilience. Painted in the later years of the literary painter Kang Sehwang, this work exemplifies his mature painting style.
