After Zhou Fang is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Metropolitan Museum of Art.

This anonymous painter hid a playful joke in plain sight: their album leaf shows a noblewoman fanning herself, but the fan’s floral pattern mirrors the painting’s delicate silk weave. The brushstrokes feel both crisp and soft, like calligraphy that forgot to stay still. Track down the silk fragment titled *Untitled* and you’ll see the whole joke—ink and color conspiring to tease the eye.
