Landschap 1850 - 1900

This is a Chinese landscape painting by Cheng Men, created sometime between 1850 and 1900. The artwork, measuring 24 cm in height and 20 cm in width, depicts a picturesque scene with a waterfall cascading down a mountainside and flowing past a small building surrounded by trees. This "Shanshui" painting, a genre that emphasizes the beauty of nature, highlights the artist's mastery of ink wash techniques, evident in the delicate gradations of color and the subtle layering of brushstrokes.
