Pure Tones among Hills and Waters

Xiao Yuncong

Cleveland Museum of Art

Long, horizontal landscape painting on aged paper with a light tan color. The painting depicts rolling hills, mountains, and calm waters. The artist used subtle brushstrokes and soft gray ink to create depth and texture. Darker shading suggests trees and vegetation on the hills and mountains. A few misty areas are scattered throughout. A body of water stretches across the center with gentle ripples. The top of the painting features a distant mountain range. Chinese calligraphy appears on the left and right edges. The title "Pure Tones among Hills and Waters" and the artist "Xiao Yuncong" are included in the calligraphy.
