About this work

Overview

Untitled is a woodblock print by Li Songnian, held at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. It is a circular, fan-shaped landscape print made with ink and color on paper.

Subject & Meaning

The print depicts a serene landscape with jagged cliffs, a winding river, and sparse trees. A small boat is nearly obscured by the misty atmosphere, evoking a sense of quiet contemplation.

Technique & Style

Li Songnian employed fine lines to create texture, particularly on the cliffs, achieving a rough, uneven effect. The use of cross-hatching and muted colors, such as soft blues and earthy browns, contributes to the scene's depth and misty ambiance.
