The hamlet at the foot of the rock 1707

"The Hamlet at the Foot of the Rock" is a 1707 landscape painting by Chinese artist Shitao, created in the year of his death. The painting depicts a serene, mountainous landscape with a small hamlet nestled at the base of a towering rock formation. The composition and style are characteristic of Shitao's later works, combining traditional Chinese landscape techniques with his own unique, expressive brushwork, creating a sense of awe and solitude.
