Zhao Tong, a late Qing dynasty painter and calligrapher, used the
courtesy name Chibo, and was a native of Qiantang (Hangzhou).
His seal and clerical scripts are particularly excellent; his flower
paintings show vigorousness and sincerity. This album of ink plum
blossoms, each leaf accompanied by an inscription in clerical script,
demonstrates the strong influence of Jin Nong (1687-1763) on Zhao
Tong’s art.
