This ink and color painting on paper, a fan painting by Wang Shimin, depicts a picturesque landscape. The artist, a prominent figure in the "Four Wangs" of the early Qing dynasty, captures the essence of traditional Chinese landscape painting. The composition, a classic mountain and water scene, is arranged in a way that emphasizes the natural beauty of the scenery. The artwork, dating back to 1667, is now part of the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
