About the piece

Dating to approximately 1760, this sophisticated work by Zheng Xie (Zheng Banqiao) represents the height of the literati painting tradition of the Qing Dynasty. Known as one of the 'Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou,' the artist masterfully combines sharp, calligraphic bamboo leaves with rugged rock forms, creating a balanced composition that embodies both strength and grace.
