Sketch on a Summer Day 1981

Li Huasheng's 1981 ink and wash painting "Sketch on a Summer Day" evokes a sense of tranquility with its depiction of a whimsical landscape. The artwork features a delicate tree with blossoming flowers, a small cottage tucked beneath its branches, and a bridge in the foreground, all rendered with loose, expressive strokes characteristic of Chinese ink painting. The composition is balanced, with the tree and cottage taking center stage, while the figures in the upper left corner add a touch of whimsy to the scene. The overall effect is one of serene beauty and a meditative contemplation of nature.
