A CLOSER LOOK
The museum identifies this painting as Album leaf; ink and color on silk and credits Li Anzhong (Chinese, active first half of the 1100s).
The museum's collection notes: This leaf is an early example of a new mode in landscape painting expressed in vistas of water-rich scenery that developed since the 900s. Li Anzhong, a court artist during the 1100s, witnessed the transition of the capital from Kaifeng across the Yangzi River to Hangzhou.
