Playing Flute in Moonlight

Cleveland Museum of Art

A vertical painting on aged paper depicts a rocky shoreline with a tree leaning over the water. The tree has a curved trunk with sparse pine needles on its branches. The tree grows from a rocky slope on the right side. The rocks form a steep cliffside. The water below is calm with a boat and a person sitting at the front. The person wears white and a hat and holds a flute. In the background, more trees line the distant shoreline. The mountains on the horizon are hazy. The full moon hangs low in the sky. A brown and black ornate border frames the top and bottom. Two red stamps are in the bottom right corner. The title of the painting is "Playing Flute in Moonlight" by an unknown artist.
