A Scholar's Retreat amid Autumn Trees is a 1403 unspecified by Wang Fu, a ming_painting work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a quiet scene of a lone tree standing in front of a small house. Behind it, a river runs toward distant hills. The colors are mostly gray, brown, and a touch of green on the tree. Red stamps and black writing cover the edges. The artist left his name and the date in the writing—it’s from around 1403. The scene looks peaceful, like a place to escape the city. Look up Wang Fu to see more of his work.
