芥子園畫傳|Study Pavilion and Plum Trees: Page from The Mustard Seed Garden Manual of Painting

Li Cheng is an artist. 3 works are cataloged here, principally at National Palace Museum.

Li Cheng painted towering pine forests and quiet riverside scenes that feel both ancient and alive. In “Wintry Forests,” ink-black trunks claw at a pale sky, while “Fishing Boat on a Wintry River” shows a single vessel dwarfed by misty slopes. Their brushwork captures the quiet drama of winter, the way light clings to frost and branches. Tap into the page from The Mustard Seed Garden Manual of Painting to see how artists passed these scenes from hand to hand across centuries.
