This striking original Chinese ink and wash painting captures the majestic scale of the Himalayas. Painted in 1997, the work blends traditional Chinese brushwork with a specific geographical subject: the iconic peaks of Nepal.

The inscription on the right side provides significant historical and artistic context:

• Title: 世界之頂 (Shìjiè zhī dǐng) — "Top of the World."

• Location/Subject: The text mentions Qomolangma (Mount Everest) and Fish Tail Peak (Machhapuchhre).

• Origin: 於尼泊爾 (Yú Níbó’ěr) — "In Nepal."

• Date: 一九九七年二月 (Yījiǔjiǔqī nián èryuè) — "February 1997."

• Artistic Note: The artist notes the work was "sketched from life" (xie sheng), meaning it was painted while viewing the mountains in person.
