Pink peonies and delicate branches with perched birds and scattered insects spread across a soft sage green ground in this hand-painted composition inspired by eighteenth-century chinoiserie aesthetics. The intricate foliage and naturalistic placement of flora and fauna create a contemplative garden scene rendered in muted pastels and earthy tones, evoking the refined sensibility of classical Asian botanical art. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
