Catalogue Note
Colophon:
This album by Zhao Wendu is elegant, robust, and beautiful. In style it is quite akin to Oubo laoren (Zhao Mengfu, 1254-1332), like a collaboration with him. Among Xiyuan's (superfluous) things, this one is among the best. Whoever possesses it should treasure it. (On the mounting material of the first leaf.)
