Landscape in the Style of Mi Fu

Dong Qichang

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Landscape painting in the style of Mi Fu by Dong Qichang, depicting a serene scene. The painting features a range of dark gray mountains with lighter gray shading and lines suggesting texture, varying in size and shape, some pointed and others rounded, positioned across the center and right side. In the foreground, there are clusters of trees on small land masses surrounded by water. The sky appears lighter with some form of calligraphy and a red seal in the upper left corner. The overall color tone of the painting is a mix of dark grays, light grays, and beige, giving it an aged appearance.
