Not on view

Bian Wenyu was a student of Dong Qichang, who advocated intense study of specific old master painters, especially Huang Gongwang (1269–1654). Huang’s style inspired the ropy texture strokes and piled rock groupings that Bian used in this depiction of a river retreat at the foot of a mountain.
