The Pine Retreat, from Twelve Views of Tiger Hill, Suzhou

Shen Zhou

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white painting of a Chinese village on a hillside. The village consists of several traditional-style buildings with tiled roofs, built into the side of a hill. Staircases and paths connect the buildings. Trees and bushes are scattered throughout the scene. Two people stand on a staircase. The painting style is simple with bold lines and minimal details. The composition is busy with overlapping elements. The painting is on a rectangular piece of paper with a white border. A red seal stamp is in the bottom-right corner.
