About the piece

Created in 1726 by the Qing dynasty artist Bian Shoumin, this elegant work captures a moment of stillness in nature. Wild geese are rendered with soft ink washes and subtle peach tones against a minimalist background of water and reeds, exemplifying the refined techniques for which the artist was known. The composition's use of negative space creates an atmosphere of enduring peace.
