Landscape with solitary figure

Shitao (Zhu Ruoji)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A monochromatic landscape painting depicts a rugged hillside with a bare tree on the left and a distant figure on a hillside; a range of hills fills the background under a flat gray sky. A column of Chinese characters runs down the right side and a few lines are at the bottom; four red stamps are scattered around the image.
