About This Piece
A tall tree and distant pavilion occupy one side of an otherwise open rectangular plaque. The asymmetrical placement leaves a broad quiet field and gives the landscape its secluded quality. The source notes small cotton-like inclusions in the jade; these should be assessed in the close-up photographs.
Carving details and what to examine
Read the landscape from its outer outline toward the smaller architectural and natural details. Changes in spacing and carved depth can suggest distance on a small surface. Side-lit close-ups help distinguish raised details from shadows cast by studio lighting.
Material and stated origin
