This painting is a traditional Chinese ink wash painting, depicting a koala perched on a eucalyptus tree branch. The koala is rendered in shades of grey with delicate brushwork that captures its soft fur and gentle expression. The background features stylised eucalyptus leaves, painted with fluid and graceful strokes, creating a harmonious and serene scene.

The irises, painted in rich shades of blue and green, cascade with a natural grace from a golden yellow vase. Their forms are dynamic, capturing the lively essence of the flowers in full bloom. The background, a bold yellow, creates a striking contrast with the cooler tones of the irises, filling the composition with warmth and energy.

To the left of the composition, an inscription in Chinese calligraphy adds a poetic dimension, harmonizing the visual with the literary in a way that is emblematic of Wang Wei’s style. The painting also features two red seals: one reading "The Seal of Wang Wei," and the other, "Vincent van Gogh's Painting," paying homage to the great artist whose work inspired this piece.

This painting stands as a testament to the universal language of art, where the vibrant colour and emotional depth of Van Gogh's work meet the contemplative beauty of Chinese artistic tradition, creating a piece that is both a tribute and a unique expression in its own right.

The painting is accompanied by a complimentary Kmart frame and a premium customised frame mate, provided to ensure safe delivery.
