Description
Subject Matter:
Seiun is a relatively modern artist as this painting was completed in the 20th century. Rivers, mountains, and trees are common subjects of nature scene paintings.
Physical Description:
This is a hanging scroll depicting a nature scene of mountains, a river, and trees. Painted in ink and color, the scene follows the river as the guiding path throughout the painting until it reaches the mountains in the upper third of the painting. There appears to be a small figure in the bottom left walking along the riverside path. As the river snakes to the mountains, there is a bridge that connects the two sides. On the upper right side of the painting are four lines of inscription. To the upper right are two seals and on the bottom left directly following the inscription are two more seals.
