This title slip for a *shanshui* (landscape) album is a work by Xugu, a renowned Chinese artist who lived from 1824 to 1896. The slip is inscribed with Chinese characters in black ink on a light brown background, likely silk, and is housed in the Art Institute of Chicago. It is a small piece, measuring only 12 x 2 inches, yet it gives a glimpse into the artist's approach to painting.
