It represents the artist's highest artistic achievement at present, and has successfully created an image of a very lost male peacock who is unwilling to open his feathers to attract other female peacocks because of lovelorn love. The peacock in the painting looks lonely and has a complicated mood, and the background is bright flowers, which supports the gloom and sadness emanating from the peacock and gives full play to the painter's special brushwork.
The painter tried to combine the peacock's rich inner feelings with its beautiful appearance skillfully. For the key parts of the peacock's face, such as the corner of the eye and the sparrow's head, which are dreamy and bitter, it seems that the old peacock is playing hide-and-seek, and pays special attention to mastering the dialectical relationship between precision as jade and subtle charm, thus making the peacock's expression have a mysterious charm through the ages.
In composition, the painter changed the habit of painting with the front half or up to the chest in the past, making the composition pyramid-shaped, making the peacock more dignified and stable, showing the painter's exquisite painting skills and keen observation of nature.
