Bold, sweeping brushstrokes render these giant leaves into bold, almost abstract forms. Qi Baishi’s early studio in his hometown of Xiangtan, Hunan, overlooked banana trees, so it was a familiar subject matter for the artist. In the inscription, Baishi dedicates this 1930 painting to Shenglong Shanren (“Rising Dragon Mountain Man,” J: Shōryū Sanjin), the sobriquet of collector Suma Yakichirō.
