This ink-wash painting, "Landscape (Album Leaf)," by Bada Shanren, a prominent Chinese artist of the Qing dynasty, is a beautiful example of the artist's signature style. The work features a serene landscape with a distant mountain range, a few trees growing on a rocky cliff, and two small boats sailing on a large body of water. Bada Shanren's paintings are characterized by their simplicity, using minimal lines and washes to convey a sense of tranquility and emptiness.
