Chrysanthemums of many colors bloom in luxuriant masses as butterflies and grasshoppers vie to get a better look at the natural arrangement. This composition, large for Baishi, reveals the minute details of each insect’s antennae and feet. Chrysanthemums, along with plum, lily, and bamboo, comprise the Four Gentlemen, and are known for being able to thrive in adverse conditions.
