Seeds Visible in an Open Pomegranate

Wu Bing is a song_court_painting artist. 3 works are cataloged here, principally at National Palace Museum.

Wu Bing painted delicate silk scrolls in the late 1100s. Try *Seeds Visible in an Open Pomegranate*, where every ruby seed is carefully inked, or *Bamboo and Insects*, which pairs slender bamboo stalks with tiny creatures for natural contrast. A quiet but precise hand shows every stalk and antenna. After this, tap the pomegranate to see how the artist layered ink for depth.
