Not on view

According to his inscription, Yu Yuan painted this fan in the style of Qian Du, a painter active in the early- to mid-nineteenth century known for his spare and eerie landscapes. Qian often left the faces of his figures blank, as Yu Yuan does here with the lissome woman who leans against a willow trunk in a garden.
