About the piece
Created by Zha Shibiao in 1684, this landscape is an elegant example of 17th-century Chinese ink and wash painting. The composition depicts a quiet waterway where two figures navigate a small skiff past rocky cliffs and a simple dwelling. Delicate brushwork and a soft, atmospheric palette of ink and light pigments evoke a sense of scholarly retreat and natural harmony.
