About the piece
Attributed to Gao Fenghan in 1723, this ink painting on silk exemplifies the harmony of the literati tradition. The work features a figure—possibly a scholar or hermit—standing with a staff as he observes geese by a riverbank, all rendered with elegant, fluid brushstrokes and a muted tonal palette that invites quiet contemplation.
