Poetic Thoughts in a Forest Pavilion is a 1371 unspecified by Ni Zan, held at Art Institute of Chicago.
This painting is a serene landscape with a few trees and a small building in the foreground. The trees are sparse, with some leaves and branches visible. In the background, there are mountains and a body of water, possibly a lake or river. The painting has a simple, yet elegant style, with a focus on the natural beauty of the scene. The use of muted colors and soft brushstrokes creates a sense of calm and tranquility. The artist's use of negative space and subtle color palette adds to the overall sense of serenity in the painting.
