Page from Shi Zhu Zhai

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The artwork, titled "Page from Shi Zhu Zhai" by an unknown artist, features a traditional Chinese ink painting on a beige background. The composition includes a gnarled tree trunk on the right side with sparse branches extending to the top and left. The tree's trunk and branches are rendered in shades of gray and black ink. Several long, curved lines suggest additional branches or grasses at the bottom. The left side of the artwork features a vertical column of black Chinese calligraphy accompanied by two small red seals. The beige background has a slightly darker border around the artwork.
