This painting depicts an immortal, with his chest and abdomen exposed, as he seemingly strides forward. Except for the few fine outlines to suggest the facial features, ears, and chest, the rest of the figure is rendered with large swaths of wet ink. The abbreviated and unrestrained brushwork is done in a style that has rich chan (禪) overtones. Object Type: painting. Date: 13th century. Place of creation: China during the Song dynasty. Dimensions: 48.7 x 27.7 cm. Medium: ink on paper. Collection: National Palace Museum. Immortal in Splashed Ink
