About the artist
Untitled is a 1356 ink by Wang Meng, depicting House, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a quiet village scene tucked inside a circle. A winding path leads through a cluster of small houses with thatched roofs, nestled among gnarled trees and rolling hills. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to suggest texture—rough bark on trees, jagged rocks, and the uneven ground. The right side balances a lone, twisted tree with a tiny house, while the left side piles up hills in dense, layered strokes. The ink feels almost like a quick sketch, but the composition is carefully framed. Look up cross-hatching next to see how artists build depth with lines.
