Landscape

Zheng Bin

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Landscape by Zheng Bin, a brown, rectangular piece of artwork on a white background. The artwork depicts a landscape scene, with mountains and hills in the background. The mountains are drawn with darker brown shading, and some lighter areas suggest snow or mist. The mountains are varied in shape and size. In the foreground, several trees with bare branches and some with leaves are scattered on the hills and in the valleys. A small bridge or structure is visible on the left side of the artwork. The entire scene is rendered in shades of brown, with some areas darker than others, and includes some Chinese calligraphy in the bottom-right corner.
