The Seven Pines

Unidentified artist

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white landscape painting with bare trees in the foreground. The trees have thin trunks and branches, no leaves. The background shows a body of water and a distant shoreline or hill. There are several lines of foreign script at the top and on the left side. The script is in black ink and appears to be calligraphy. There are two square shaped seals, one on the top row of script, left of center, and one on the top right. The artwork appears to be on rice paper or similar textured material. The color scheme of the artwork includes black, white and grey tones. The artwork is framed with a white border on the right and bottom.
