Landscapes in Various Styles after Old Masters

Mei Qing

Cleveland Museum of Art

Landscape with mountains, hills, and body of water. Mountains in background have sparse vegetation; one mountain left of center is large with a pointed peak. Mountains are drawn in shaded gray and brown with varying levels of detail. Hills in midground and foreground are covered with thick dark green vegetation; some have rounded tops. A body of water fills space between mountains and hills on left side. A boat with sails appears on the water on right side, near the top. A person on a donkey appears on bottom left. The artwork has a beige background with darker beige edges; it is bordered by white. Calligraphy and seals are on left and bottom right. The painting style appears to blend Chinese and European techniques. The image, "Landscapes in Various Styles after Old Masters," is by Mei Qing.
