Zhai Dakun

Cleveland Museum of Art

The painting depicts a landscape with mountains in the background and a village in the foreground. The artwork, titled "River Village in High Summer," is rendered on a brown surface resembling fabric or paper. The background features a mountain range with varied peak shapes and sizes. A line of trees is positioned in front of the mountains. In the foreground, several trees with thin trunks and drooping branches are scattered throughout, with a few buildings among them. Some of the buildings have sloping roofs. A body of water appears to be present behind the trees on the left side. Chinese calligraphy is written in black ink at the top left corner of the painting.
