About the piece

Created around 1690 by the master Mei Qing, this album leaf is a superb example of the Anhui school of painting. It depicts a tranquil retreat at the foot of a towering cliff, with a lone scholar visible within the structure. The composition utilizes delicate ink washes and expressive calligraphic brushwork to evoke the monumental spirit of the Yellow Mountains, complemented by a poetic inscription in the upper right.
