Promise of Prosperity

Originally part of a painting album, this work was created in 14th–15th century China. Although the artist is unknown due to the absence of a signature, the cover bears the name Lin Chun. The pomegranate, with its abundance of seeds, has long symbolized fertility and prosperity. The delicate composition features a small bird resting on a blooming pomegranate branch, capturing the viewer’s attention.
