About the piece

Painted in 1609 by Ming dynasty artist Li Shida, this work offers a detailed window into rural Chinese life. The composition features a variety of thatched-roof structures nestled among bare winter trees, with figures seen crossing bridges and gathering within courtyards to celebrate New Year's Day. The delicate ink work and soft washes create a tranquil, historical atmosphere.
