Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a serene landscape painting titled "Listening to the Sound of Autumn in a Misty Grove" by Zhang Feng. The painting features a cloudy gray sky with darker gray clouds. The bottom portion shows a landscape with a river or lake, a small hill or mound on the left side with several bare trees. The trees have brown trunks and branches, with no leaves visible. On the right side of the painting, a person stands on the riverbank, dressed in a long blue and white robe, holding an object that could be a stringed instrument. The painting includes several red stamps or seals, three visible at the bottom corners and one near the top right, accompanied by vertical Chinese calligraphy. The overall color palette is muted, with shades of gray, brown, and hints of red from the seals. The painting is bordered by a beige frame with a subtle white pattern.
