Cleansing Medicinal Herbs in the Stream on a Spring Day

Yu Zhiding

Cleveland Museum of Art

The painting depicts a serene scene of a riverbank on a spring day. A river flows from the right side towards the center. On the right bank, two people walk along a path next to a low fence. One person holds a blue umbrella. The left bank features a series of connected buildings with tiled roofs and a pagoda-style structure. A man sits on a platform near the buildings, surrounded by trees and greenery. Trees with white blossoms and green leaves are prominent on the left side. In the background, mountains and additional trees with pink blossoms are visible. The sky is hazy and light brown. Chinese characters are written vertically on the left and right edges. Stamps are present in the bottom-left corner.
