Sesshu studied and traveled extensively in China, studied the Chinese masters, and completed most of his known and authentic paintings while in China. This particular piece is in the Chinese form that Sesshu studied in his prime. The artwork is titled Cold Mountain , and has two seals. Cold Mountain is one of Sesshu Toyo’s know works.
