Lot Essay
Author Adrien von Ferscht has suggested that the motif of bamboo growing amongst rocks is significant of “steadfastness” and “humility”; together representing the virtuous qualities of a Confucian gentleman and strongly associated with the literati. Additionally the inclusion of magpies could represent a wish for marital bliss.
