Landscapes after old masters

Wang Hui

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Landscape drawing with mountains in the background and trees and buildings in the foreground. The image is sepia-toned and appears to be drawn with ink or a black marker. There are several large trees with drooping branches. There are several buildings along the bottom. There are also several lines of writing in a non-Latin script throughout the image. The writing appears to be calligraphy. The background of the image is a light brown color.
