明/清   佚名   舊傳董源   山水圖   卷|Landscape — Dong Yuan|Unidentified artist

This painting was acquired for The Met in Beijing in 1913 by the missionary and educator-turned-art-dealer John Calvin Ferguson. Ferguson believed the painting to be by the tenth-century master Dong Yuan, but modern scholars recognize the constricted space and patternized brushwork as signs of a seventeenth-century copy
