Untitled is an ink by Li Liufang, depicting landscape, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a jagged mountain rising over a small village. The rocks are drawn with sharp, uneven lines, and a few trees cling to the slopes. Below, a few simple buildings sit near a riverbank, with more hills fading into the distance. The artist used ink and color to create depth, with darker tones on the rocks and lighter ones in the sky. The lines look hand-drawn but precise, almost like they were carved into wood. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build texture with lines.
