Description
Home Village #1 (Xu Ming, 2014, Chinese brush painting) shows a cluster of whitewashed village buildings with dark tiled roofs lining a waterway, rendered in grey ink washes with touches of tan and pale green on the walls. A tree with green foliage rises on the right side of the composition, its branches spreading across the middle ground, while a small boat is moored at the water's edge in the lower left. An inscription and a red seal mark the upper left corner; no figures appear, and the muted grey-and-white palette gives the scene a quiet, misty tone.
