About the piece
Created in 1639 by the Ming dynasty master Zhang Hong, this ink and color painting on paper captures a moment of rustic joy. A group of figures is shown in a minimalist landscape, centered around a performance where an individual beats a percussion instrument known as a 'fou' while another dances, all beneath the dramatic, sweeping branches of a gnarled tree. The work features calligraphic inscriptions and traditional red seals, adding to its scholarly and historic character.
