The four gentlemen: Orchid

This ink painting is an original work by an oriental artist (consult further information about the artist of this painting). In oriental art the Chinese plum, the orchid, bamboo and the chrysanthemum are the four gentlemen in the realm of plants and flowers. The orchid represents "the gentleman of spring". In this painting some orchids which flower very energetically growing on some rocks are shown, aswell as an oriental poem which describes the nature of this plant: growing in the depths of the mountains far away from the noise and turbulence of civilisation, there they conserve their authentic qualities. For asiatic intellectuals and entrepeneurs, the painting of the orchid symbolises the honour and an ethical and moral life. The painting is framed professionally with quality materials, and is delivered perfectly packaged and protected.
