About the artist
Untitled is a 1129 ink by Mi Youren, depicting House, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This image shows a black-and-white landscape inside a round frame. Jagged mountains fill most of the space, with a winding river cutting through the bottom. A small house sits near the water, and trees clump around it. The sky is barely visible, just a faint line at the top. Notice how the artist used tiny, overlapping lines to build up dark shapes—almost like shading with pencil strokes. It makes the mountains look rough and real. Look up cross-hatching next to see how this technique works.
