About the piece

Created in 1625 by the renowned Ming dynasty master Chen Hongshou, this painting depicts a Daoist figure accompanied by a crane in a tranquil autumn landscape. This leaf, part of a series created 'after ancient masters', showcases Chen's sophisticated brushwork and characteristic use of space to evoke a sense of scholarly isolation and peace.
