Man on a Bridge

Ren Yi (Ren Bonian)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A man wearing a white robe stands on a curved bridge facing away from the viewer; his hands are by his sides. The bridge is wooden and has railings; it leads to a forested area on the right. Several bare trees with numerous branches are on the right. A hill and another hill or mountain are in the background on the left. Chinese characters are written vertically on the top left; two red stamps are on the bottom right and one is on the top left. The image is in black and white with a sepia tone. The artwork is bordered by a thick white mat and thin black line.
