This is a landscape in painted ink outline and color. The work has features of landscape conventions which were developed in the Ming period. As noted in our introduction, and seen here, mountains are generally shown as large and rising to sharp peaks. The painting does not have one-point perspective. Mists are a present near water which tends to flow about land forms. No exact date can be given for this work as it was sold in a street auction following the destructive communist “Culture Revolution”. A recent communist period when many art works were destroyed or stolen.
