Landscape with Waterfall

Tani Bunchō

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The painting depicts a landscape with a waterfall. A tall, thin waterfall cascades down a rocky cliff on the left side. The cliff is shrouded in mist and surrounded by trees. A smaller waterfall flows into a pool at the base of the cliff. Trees are on the right side and in front of the cliffs. The background features a cloudy sky and additional rocky outcroppings. The painting is framed by a gold border with a lighter patterned strip at the top. The artwork is attributed to Tani Bunchō.
