Landscape after a poem by Wang Wei

Tang Di

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The painting depicts a landscape scene. The scene features a large tree with bare branches and a thick trunk on the right side, situated on a rocky outcrop. Behind the tree, there are rolling hills and mountains in the background. The sky appears cloudy and hazy. The painting is rendered in shades of brown and black ink on a beige background, with some red stamps in the bottom-right corner and a vertical line of text in the top-right corner. The overall composition is tall and narrow.
