Magpies, Pomegranates, and Hibiscus
The painter has here depicted a lively scene in a naturalistic manner. The combination of flowers and birds lends itself well for interior decoration, and also often has a symbolic meaning. Here the magpies stand for good fortune, the pomegranates for prosperity, and the hibiscus for successfully passing exams.
