This painting shows travelers walking through a bright autumn forest. Trees blaze in red and gold. A few figures pause on a narrow path. Chen Hongshou loved old styles but made them playful. His late albums shrink scenes to tiny details. Each leaf feels like a small world. Look up Chen Hongshou (Chinese, 1598/99–1652) to see more of his quirky art.
