Landscape

Yun Shouping

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Landscape by Yun Shouping. A vertical painting on aged paper depicting a serene scene. A river flows through a valley with brushstrokes indicating rocks and trees. The background, on the left, shows tall cliffs; on the right, rolling hills with dense, dark green trees scattered throughout. A large overhanging cliff protrudes into the scene from the left, with a steep drop. Trees line the river on both banks. The top-right corner features several lines of Chinese calligraphy. The painting's color palette is subdued, with browns, grays, and dark greens dominating. A small red seal or stamp is visible in the bottom left corner.
