About the piece

Painted in 1712, this exquisite work by Wang Hui captures the poetic stillness of an autumn evening. As a leading figure of the Orthodox school of the early Qing Dynasty, Wang Hui employs meticulous brushwork to render the twisting branches and distant mountain vistas, while the inclusion of red artist seals and calligraphy provides an authentic window into traditional Chinese literati culture.
