About this work

Depicted in the centre are a majestic landscape with high mountain peaks and a single small figure that emphasizes the grandeur of nature. For this type of landscape, the porcelain painters looked to the Japanese Kano school of painting, which excelled in ink paintings of mountain landscapes with water features and pavilions.
