About this work

This shows a man staring at his reflection in still water. His face stays calm. The rocks around him are sharp and jagged. The whole scene feels quiet and a little lonely. This painting comes from the Ming Dynasty in China. Artists often used nature scenes to show deeper ideas about life and time. The colors here are soft, but the lines are sharp. See how the man and his reflection almost touch? Look up the Cleveland Museum of Art next.
