Album of Miscellaneous Subjects, Leaf 5 is a 1654 unspecified by Fan Qi, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
You see a mountain path winding through misty cliffs, a lone traveler leaning on a staff. The painting is one page from a small album. Each leaf pairs a quiet scene with a poem—here, a friend’s calligraphy about wandering alone. The words and image feel like a private moment, not a grand statement. To see more works like this, look up subject: china, qing dynasty (1644-1911).
