This page from *The Mustard Seed Garden Manual of Painting* is a classic example of Chinese painting techniques. Created in 1679 by Wang Gai, the artwork depicts a mountainous landscape with a small village nestled within, showcasing the use of ink and brushstrokes to evoke depth and texture. The manual was intended as a guide for aspiring artists, providing detailed instructions on painting techniques and composition. This page, like many others in the manual, illustrates specific painting concepts such as the rendering of rocks and trees.
