Her sobriquets were Shang-yüan ti-tzu and Shang-yüan lao-jen. Ch’en Shu excelled in painting flowers, birds, grasses and insects. She is also noted for her paintings of landscapes and figures. The red camellia and pink plum blossoms present a delightful picture. The branch and trunk of the plum tree are depicted with monochrome ink, the contour lines of tree and leaves revealing a kind of calligraphic flavor. This painting was done in 1717.
