Inscribed:
"Peach Blossom Spring" by Zhang Bogao. Fang Zhaoling of Liangqi [painting on a] winter day [at] Nanshan studio.

In this painting Fang Zhaoling combined two different fan-shaped elements to create a single work. The poetry section is in the shape of a folding fan, while the peach blossoms and inscription are in a round shape usually reserved for rigid circular fans.
