Landscapes in the manner of Song and Yuan masters

Yun Shouping

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

This painting depicts a landscape scene in shades of gray with a few splashes of color. The scene features a mountainous area with steep cliffs and sloping hills. A winding path leads down to a cluster of buildings. Trees are scattered throughout, with some appearing bare and others having foliage. In the background, there are more mountains shrouded in mist. On the left side, there is a column of Chinese calligraphy in black ink, accompanied by two small red seals. The overall style mimics the traditional Chinese landscapes of the Song and Yuan dynasties.
