Two Landscapes

Cheng Jiasui

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts two landscape paintings by Cheng Jiasui. Two landscape scenes are drawn side by side on beige paper. The left scene features a pine tree on a cliffside overlooking a body of water with a distant shoreline. The right scene shows a steep cliff face. Both scenes are drawn in black ink with minimal color. The painting has a vertical line down the center, indicating it was created on two joined sheets of paper. Red stamps are placed in each corner and along the right edge. Black Chinese calligraphy is written vertically on the right scene. The image is framed by a thin beige border.
