十竹齋書畫譜 不分卷 三

(明) 胡正言 撰 · 22 pictures

This is a Ming-dynasty colour woodblock album of painting and calligraphy models by Hu Zhengyan, printed in China for scholars and painters. Its pages show plants, fruits and flowers drawn in loose ink washes with soft colour, giving a designer a model for hand-painted botanical motifs with generous empty paper around each subject.
