Herald of Spring

Product Description
“Herald of Spring” is a hand-forged Wuhu iron painting that captures the moment when winter yields to new life. A dark, twisting plum branch stretches across the composition, covered in vivid red blossoms that are shaped one by one from iron and raised gently from the surface. From a distance, the piece reads like a traditional Chinese ink painting; up close, the sculpted metal relief and subtle shadows reveal its three-dimensional character.

This elongated artwork (100 × 50 cm) is ideal as living room wall art above a sofa or console, or as a refined Chinese plum blossom wall décor for an entryway or bedroom. It combines the elegance of classical brushwork with the durability and texture of metal, making it a distinctive focal point in any modern home.
