Chinese Literatus in an Autumn Landscape

Josui Sōen

Cleveland Museum of Art

The painting depicts a scene set in an autumn landscape. A man rides a donkey on a path. The man on the donkey wears a traditional robe and a hat. A second man walks next to the donkey, carrying a bundle and a branch. A large tree with drooping branches is to the right. In the background, there are hills, buildings, and a few trees. The sky has birds flying in it. The color palette is monochromatic, primarily shades of gray and beige. Two red stamps are in the bottom-right corner.
