古代的宅院常種玉蘭，象徵「玉潔冰清」或「玉堂富貴」。早春玉蘭往往葉未長而花先發，有「木花樹」或「望春花」之稱。淺設色畫寫意白玉蘭。以淡青色烘染背景，運用留白法突顯花朵的潔白。畫家使用粗硬短促的線條畫枝皴幹，並以長弧線做出花瓣的柔嫩質感，顯得清淡雅致，並富書法趣味。

Shen Zhou, a native of Changzhou, went by the style name Qi’nan… 更多 and the sobriquet Shitian. Gifted at calligraphy and excelling at poetry, his paintings all ranked in the “spirited” category. He was ranked as one of the Four Ming Masters. Magnolias (translated literally in Chinese as “Jade orchid”) were often planted in the yards of residences in the old days, symbolizing the notion of “Pure as jade and clear as ice” and “Wealth and position in halls of jade.” In early spring the magnolia often blooms before its leaves emerge, hence its alternate names of “Flower tree” and “Flowers anticipating spring.” This work, from “Album of Sketching from Life,” features a sketchy rendition of magnolias in light colors. Very slight washes of blue were applied to the background, leaving the paper blank to make the pure white of the blossoms stand out. The artist used short, blunt lines to depict the branches and bark. Long arcing lines delineate the soft and tender quality of the flower petals, making them appear pure and refined while giving them a strongly calligraphic touch as well.
