About the piece
Created in 1684 by Zha Shibiao, this elegant ink-wash painting depicts a lone scholar amidst the quietude of a snowy landscape. Part of an album exploring various classical styles, the work features sparse brushwork and a muted palette that evokes a sense of stillness and contemplation characteristic of late Ming and early Qing dynasty scholar-painting.
