寒山子图49x53 by Ma Yuan

Perched on a grassy mound within a circular fan format, the legendary poet Han Shan gazes into the void, embodying the ultimate Zen hermit. Ma Yuan, a master of the Southern Song dynasty, uses vast empty space to create a sense of profound solitude and contemplation. This minimalist composition, often leaving the subject off-center, earned him the nickname 'One-Corner Ma' and invites viewers to imagine the misty mountains surrounding the figure.
