Winter landscapes and flowers

Qian Weicheng

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A monochrome ink painting on beige paper depicts a snowy landscape. A small house with a tiled roof sits on a hill in the foreground. A bare willow tree sits on a slope next to the house. The slope borders a frozen body of water on which several rocks and a hut are visible. A hill with bare trees rises on the left. A line of bare trees sits on the right bank of the water. A flock of about 20 birds flies across the top left. Written in black and red ink at the top right are Chinese characters.
