About the piece

Attributed to the early Qing dynasty master Shitao, this 1674 work is a masterpiece of the 'individualist' school. The composition masterfully balances the rhythmic, textured brushwork of the rocky cliffs with the expansive, misty void of the river, creating a sense of profound stillness characteristic of classical East Asian painting.
