Pastoral Scene at Dusk 1993

Li Huasheng's "Pastoral Scene at Dusk" (1993) is a traditional Chinese ink and wash painting depicting a tranquil scene of a small cottage nestled amongst lush foliage. The artist's skillful use of black ink creates a sense of depth and perspective, while subtle washes of yellow add a touch of warmth and vibrancy. The overall composition evokes a feeling of peace and serenity, characteristic of the "shanshui" genre, which translates to "mountain-water" and emphasizes the harmonious relationship between nature and humanity.
