About the piece
Created in 1788 by Min Zhen, this masterful ink wash painting captures the mythical dragon in its traditional elemental habitat. The artist uses varying ink tones and energetic brushwork to create a sense of profound movement and atmospheric depth, where the creature's form emerges and recedes within a swirling expanse of clouds.
