DiaporamaLandscape in the manner of Dong Yuan
1651
17.0 x 51.0 cm
This evocative vignette is signed by a certain Lu Kezheng, an obscure artist who has gone unrecorded in histories of Chinese painting. Centering the composition on the lower half of the fan, Lu left the top shrouded in mist, creating a feeling of suspense by withholding a view into the far distance. The painting is dated according to the sixty-year cycle of the premodern Chinese calendar, so it is not possible to know whether it was made in 1591 or sixty years later in 1651, although the latter seems more likely based on its style.
