"Green Mountain Just After a Bath" (1723) by Jin Yongxi (1695–1717) is a captivating landscape painting of a mountainous scene with lush greenery and a river winding its way through the landscape. The artist's delicate brushstrokes, use of light washes of ink and color, and meticulous details create a serene and harmonious atmosphere. This is a prime example of the *shanshui* (mountain-water) genre in Chinese art, characterized by its focus on the natural world and its spiritual and philosophical significance. The painting is currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
