Eight landscapes

Lu Han

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Eight landscapes by Lu Han. A traditional Chinese painting on paper or silk with a beige border. The painting depicts a serene mountainous landscape with green and gray mountains; some have pointed tops, while others are rounded. A waterfall cascades down a mountain, flowing into a pool surrounded by trees. A building with a dark roof is on the right side of the waterfall. A group of people stands on a hillside. Trees and bushes are scattered throughout the foreground. A body of water with a distant shoreline and more trees is on the left. Two red stamps are in the top-left corner with black Chinese calligraphy beside them. The sky above is gray with clouds.
