By Ilana Shechter

Original Chinese Brush Painting by Ilana Shechter.

An original art copy of the famous painting "Chrysanthemums in a vase" by Bada Shanren (Chinese, 1626–1705).

The chrysanthemum, together with the plum blossom, orchid, and bamboo, have been regarded as the four symbols of noble characters by Chinese scholars since ancient times.

Chrysanthemum, in particular, has many meanings. Chrysanthemums symbolize a long and happy life.
The chrysanthemum blooms in the cold autumn air and foretells the coming of winter, which symbolizes the virtue to withstand all adversities.

The painting has three Traditional Chinese red seals, one of them means "Happy", the second means Always Blessed, and the third means ''Harmony'' (from top to bottom).

This painting was hand-painted, using Traditional Chinese tools and materials: Chinese Black Ink and Chinese mineral paints on special rice Xuan paper.
