Luo Ping

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The painting depicts a serene scene. A single-story house with a dark roof and light-colored walls is centered, featuring a covered porch with a railing and open windows. The house sits on a raised platform. In the foreground, trees with bare branches and a few with leaves are scattered. A steep staircase leads up to the house from the right. The background shows a gray sky, with a bare tree branch in the upper left corner. The ground around the house appears misty or foggy. The artwork's color palette is predominantly sepia-toned. The artist's name, Luo Ping, and the title, "Drinking in the Bamboo Garden on the Lantern Festival," are associated with the image.
