Wind among the Trees on the Riverbank

Ni Zan

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The painting depicts a serene landscape with a body of water. In the foreground, there are several trees growing on a rocky outcrop. The trees have sparse foliage and slender trunks. Behind the trees, the water stretches out, with a distant mountain range visible on the horizon. The mountains are rendered in soft, muted tones. The painting features a vertical inscription in black ink on the right side, accompanied by several red seals scattered throughout. The artwork is set against a beige background with a darker border around the edges.
