A Tang Palace

Qiu Ying

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a scroll titled "A Tang Palace" by Qiu Ying. The scroll has a light gray background with a repeating pattern of small white designs. Two long white strips are centered at the top, attached to a thin wire that forms a triangle. A large rectangular picture is in the center, with a white border. The picture depicts a landscape with a large building on the right, featuring a pagoda-style roof and a bridge leading to it. Trees and bushes surround the building, and a body of water is on the left with a distant mountain range. The sky is cloudy, and a few birds are flying. The scroll has a white roller at the bottom. The overall image is in black and white.
