Een Chinese wijsgeer en landschap met wilgen c. 1822

"Een Chinese wijsgeer en landschap met wilgen" is a woodblock print by the Japanese artist Yashima Gakutei, created around 1822. The print showcases a unique composition, featuring two distinct scenes. The upper portion depicts a Chinese sage seated amidst a lush landscape, while the lower part presents a serene view of a willow-lined river and a small building. Gakutei's skillful use of line and color creates a sense of depth and tranquility, evoking the peaceful atmosphere of nature. The print is a fine example of the artist's mastery of the ukiyo-e style, which flourished in Japan during the Edo period.
