Wu Li, Landscape after Yang Sheng

Wu Li's fan leaf painting demonstrates the literati tradition of creating works based on earlier masters, in this case referencing Yang Sheng's compositional approach. Executed in ink and color on paper, the work exemplifies the refined brushwork and atmospheric perspective characteristic of late Ming and early Qing landscape painting. The intimate scale of the fan format allowed literati painters like Wu Li to showcase technical mastery and personal artistic interpretation within a portable, collectible medium.
