Landscape

Watanabe Shikō 渡辺始興

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Large landscape painting divided into two panels, rendered in shades of sepia and black on a light brown background. A figure stands on a rocky outcropping on the left, wearing a traditional robe and hat, looking out at a body of water. A tree grows from the rocks beside the figure. In the background, hills and mountains are visible, with a boat on the water to the right. A green and gold patterned border surrounds the painting.
