"Drinking at Night" is a hanging scroll painting by the renowned Chinese artist Tang Yin, dating back to the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). The painting depicts a serene lakeside scene with a pavilion, a large tree, and figures gathered for an evening gathering. Tang Yin, known for his refined brushwork and atmospheric landscapes, captures a sense of tranquility and leisure. This work, now housed in The Art Institute of Chicago, showcases Tang Yin's mastery of ink and wash techniques, a signature style of Chinese painting.
