River landscape

Qing dynasty (1644–1911)
Not on view
Zhuang Jiongsheng was a native of Changzhou, in present-day Jiangsu Province. In 1647 he attained the highest rank in the imperial examinations and moved to Beijing to serve the newly founded Qing dynasty. At the court, his skill as a painter caught the eye of the first Qing emperor, who awarded him with gifts. In Zhuang’s inscription on this fan, which he painted for a friend, he wrote that he followed the styles of the tenth-century painters Dong Yuan and Juran.
