清 戴熙 仿古山水四屏 軸|Landscapes after old masters is a 1850 ink by Dai Xi, a Qing Painting work, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This painting shows four hanging scrolls with landscapes drawn in ink on gold-flecked paper. The scenes depict mountains, trees, and water, with a few buildings visible in the distance. The style is traditional Chinese, with bold brushstrokes and simple colors. The paintings seem to be copies of older works, with the artist paying homage to the past. The use of gold-flecked paper adds a touch of luxury to the pieces.

Dai Xi spent his life in a quiet corner of China, far from the noisy politics of his time.
