Painting 18th - 19th century

This album leaf from the 18th-19th century by Bi Chang depicts a serene landscape scene with weeping willows and a river. The artist utilizes a light and delicate brushstroke to create a peaceful atmosphere, with the willow trees and river reflecting the gentle flow of nature. The subtle details, like small boats on the water, add a sense of life and movement to the scene. The piece showcases the artist's skill in capturing the essence of nature and creates a tranquil and evocative mood for the viewer. This album leaf, now located at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, is a testament to the beauty and artistry of Chinese landscape painting.
