About the piece

Painted around 1674, this work is a superb example of Shitao's individualist style. Eschewing the rigid conventions of his time, the artist used expressive brushwork and light washes of color to evoke the melancholic beauty of the Qinhuai River region. This piece balances profound scholarly depth with a restful, airy composition that translates beautifully into a contemporary home setting.
