In the composition of this painting, the branch of an old plum tree with a seemingly infinite number of blossoms is shown extending out horizontally. The myriad petals of the blossoms look as pure as jade and have been arranged in a very complex but not chaotic manner. Ch'en's rendering of the blossoms is quite similar to that of Wang Mien. However, close comparison of their works reveals that Wang's brushwork is more angular, while Ch'en's is rounder. Wang was also a native of Shao-hsing, which might explain the outward similarity between their works.
