Xie Zhiliu Chinese

Not on view

As a young artist, Xie made a number of excursions from Shanghai, during which he sketched the natural environment. One of his early outings took him to nearby Hangzhou, where he made a number of faithful drawings of the scenery at West Lake, including this view of the hills along the northern shore.
