About the piece
Created around 1840 by Su Renshan, this ink painting depicts the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove—a celebrated group of Chinese scholars who retreated from political life to pursue art and philosophy. The artist uses bold, calligraphic lines to define the figures against a quiet background, emphasizing their detachment and the purity of their intellectual pursuits.
