About the piece

This 1777 hanging scroll illustrates the legendary 'Seven Worthies of the Bamboo Grove,' a group of Chinese scholars and poets who retreated from court life to find solace in nature. The composition features intricate brushwork depicting fine bamboo leaves, rugged rock formations, and flowing water, rendered in a sophisticated palette of ink and light earth tones typical of late 18th-century East Asian painting.
