富贵白头偕老图Wealth and Honour, Together into Old Age

Peonies lean in from the left, a few large red blossoms among others of pale pink, shaded in the boneless manner so that they are soft yet keep their form. On the right a slender woody stem climbs the scroll, its young leaves brushed in mixed ochre and green, and gives the composition air. Two bulbuls, known in Chinese as baitouweng, “white-headed old man”, share the picture: one at the very top with wings raised, the other perched among the branches, looking back, its black and white head drawn with a fine brush.

Because of its white crown the bulbul stands for growing old together; painted with the peony, flower of wealth and honour, it makes the familiar wish “wealth and white hair together”, for a long and loving marriage.

牡丹自左侧斜出，大红粉白，相间而开，没骨分染，柔中有骨；右侧细干一枝挺然直上，新叶以赭绿相杂写出，画面因之疏朗。白头翁一双，一上一下：其一振翅于画顶，翩然欲去；其一栖于花枝，回首顾盼，黑白相间之头部以细笔勾出，精神毕现。

白头翁顶生白羽，取“白头到老”之意；与象征富贵之牡丹同绘，即“富贵白头”，寓夫妻恩爱、偕老百年。
