Think of the Source When Drinking Water

Art Appreciation

The artwork presents a charming scene filled with the simple grace of ink wash painting. A large tree anchors the composition on the left, its thick, textured trunk providing a grounding element. The delicate rendering of the foliage contrasts beautifully with the solid form of the tree, creating a sense of depth. In the foreground, a group of figures gathers around a well, their expressions conveying a sense of reverence. A sign hangs nearby, its text adding a layer of narrative to the scene; it prompts us to remember the well diggers when drinking water. The entire composition is rendered in a subdued palette of earthy tones and muted greens, lending a gentle, almost nostalgic quality to the work. The brushstrokes have a characteristic fluidity. It feels like a quiet moment, captured with a blend of simplicity and depth.
