Zen-schildering en kalligrafie 1779 - 1868

"Zen-schildering en kalligrafie" is a hanging scroll by the Japanese artist Sōzan Genkyō (1798-1868). Created sometime between 1779 and 1868, the artwork depicts a seated figure with a long, flowing beard and a large hat, possibly a Zen monk. The minimalist ink brushwork and calligraphy in the background, typical of Zen art, exemplify the emphasis on meditation and simplicity. This style of art is often appreciated for its serene and contemplative atmosphere.
