Ten Thousand Bamboos in the Mist and Rain is a 1775 unspecified by Zhai Dakun, a Qing Painting work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a quiet, misty scene with bamboos and a lone boat on a river. The bamboos are dark and thick, some bending near the water. A small hill rises in the background, wrapped in soft, pale colors. The whole scene feels calm, like rain just passed. The artist used loose brushstrokes to suggest movement in the plants and mist. The boat is tiny, almost hidden, making the landscape feel vast. The writing on the right side looks like calligraphy, adding a personal touch. Check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this painting in person.
Zhai Dakun painted bold, mist-soaked landscapes in the mid-Qing era, mimicking the rugged peaks and swirling clouds of earlier Chinese masters.
