About this work

This open book page shows a simple ink drawing of bare trees and a small building in the distance. Two tiny figures in boats sit near the bottom right, almost hidden by the empty space. The paper has a few red stamps and some faded handwritten text along the top edge. The trees look like they’re in winter, with no leaves and branches spreading out. The boats add a quiet human touch to the scene, making it feel like a moment frozen in time. Next, look up The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more works like this.
