About the piece

Created in 1684, this masterwork by Zha Shibiao pays homage to the style of Wu Zhen, one of the Four Masters of the Yuan Dynasty. The painting utilizes varied ink tones and expressive brushwork to depict a secluded woodland scene, complete with rustic huts and a solitary wanderer, set against a backdrop of distant, mist-shrouded peaks.
