+ OVERVIEW
This work shows a landscape scene in the style of Southern and Northern Schools. The painting was completed with dry brush and light ink. Rocky cliffs and rocks were depicted by various cun strokes. A typical composition of Pu Hsin-yu was used with a hill at the back, trees encroaching among the rocks from the lower ground, as the land extended from a rocky shore to the river. Cun strokes, turquoise and light colours were used to enhance the fluidity and elusive quality. The crooked trees were outlined with double strokes while the leaves were dotted with ink. The background was contrasted with the low relief of the foreground. Meticulously sketched with fine brush, the kiosk was occupied by two scholars gazing into the landscape. The whole work was lightly coloured and carefully painted to reflect the schools of classical paintings showing Pu’s hermit character.
