- BOATING ON A LAKE

Inscription:
The nebulous mist shimmering with faint light seems to be weighing down the eyebrows; The mountains in a mantle of clouds touch the sky low on the horizon. Once here, there’s no need to oar back the boat; It is absolutely superior to the Shan River visited by Wang (Zi) you. Painted and inscribed in spring of the jichou year, Da-chien Jushi Yuan at Dafeng Tang.
