Tiger-Flight Spring at the Back Gate, from Twelve Views of Tiger Hill, Suzhou

Shen Zhou

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a serene scene of a Chinese-style building and gate. A low wall runs across the bottom, with a small staircase leading up to a covered gate. The gate has a tiled roof and an open center. A man carrying two buckets on a shoulder pole walks up the stairs. Behind the gate stands a tall, multi-story building with a tiled roof. Trees surround the structures, and a red seal is visible in the bottom-right corner. The artwork, titled 'Tiger-Flight Spring at the Back Gate,' is by Shen Zhou.
