You see a small, quiet scene of misty hills, a winding river, and a few bare trees—autumn in southern China. Xiao Yuncong painted these leaves like pages in a diary. He walked the same hills, watched the same seasons change, and turned his sketches into delicate ink washes. The colors are soft, almost like watercolor, but done with ink and light brushstrokes. If you like this, look up *china, qing dynasty (1644-1911)* for more landscapes from the same time.
