Landscape from Ōkyo Picture Book

Maruyama Ōkyo

Cleveland Museum of Art

An image of an open book with a painted landscape on the pages. The book's pages are yellowed and have a rough texture. The painting depicts a serene and misty mountain landscape with rolling hills and sparse trees. The dominant colors are shades of gray and beige, with some green and red accents. In the foreground on the right, a leafless tree branch extends from the bottom-right corner. The mountains are painted in soft, hazy brushstrokes, with some areas of white space to suggest mist or fog. The overall effect is one of calmness and tranquility. In the top-right corner, there are several Japanese characters written in black ink, accompanied by a small red seal. The book's cover is not visible, but the pages appear to be old and worn.
