十竹齋書畫譜 不分卷 二
A Ming-dynasty Chinese painting manual compiled by Hu Zhengyan, printed as a album of flower and plant studies in circular frames; the catalogue ascribes it to Japanese picture books, though its origin is Chinese. The pictures show blossoms, leaves and sprigs rendered in soft washes of pink, green and grey-blue, with calligraphic seals and signatures beside each study, suggesting compact motifs for botanical or textile patterns and a restrained, layered colour palette.
