Pflaumenblüten nach dem Schnee besuchen, Hängerolle, Papier, 76 x 40 by Lu Zhi

Imagine bundling up for a boat ride just to see some flowers—that's the vibe of this Ming Dynasty scroll by Lu Zhi. The calligraphy at the top explains that the artist is traveling up the river after a snowfall to visit a friend and admire plum blossoms, a classic scholar's hobby. The landscape is drawn with sharp, dry brushstrokes that make the mountains look rugged and majestic, contrasting with the tiny, peaceful boat drifting below.
