Presenting the Tripod
Wang Xuehao Chinese
Not on view
As a youth, Wang Xuehao studied with a grandson of Wang Yuanqi, who trained him in the elements that made the elder Wang’s manner so beloved: loose dotting, bold interplays of solid and void, and a studied awkwardness of line that somehow never departed from elegance. Wang Xuehao shows his mastery of this style in this short handscroll, which depicts the scholar and art collector Ruan Yuan donating a famous ancient bronze vessel to a Buddhist monastery.
