Catalogue Note
Artist's inscription:
(1) Setting off with the birds, the boat will sail afar. The sky mingles with the forest below.
(2) After the style of Baishiweng (Shen Zhou)'s Returning to the Cottage.
(3) Fishing on an Autumn Stream.
(4) Spring Pavilion and Distant Cliff is an authentic work by Yuweng (Ni Zan).
(5) Reflections of Sails in Lake Dongting.
(6) Cloudy Spring, in the style of Xiangyang Manshi (Mi Fu).
(7) I copy a portion of Zijiu (Huang Gongwang)'s Fuchun Mountains, which has brushstrokes following closely the style of Dong Yuan. Undoubtedly, because of its lofty sentiment, it should rank first among Zijiu's paintings.
(8) Returning Sails in the Gorges, by Jiulong Shanren (Wang Fu).
(9) Literary Gathering at a Mountain Pavilion.
(10) Temple amidst a Range of Mountains by Meihua Daoren (Wu Zhen).
(11) The style of Streams and Mountains by Cao Yunxi (Cao Zhibai) seems to resemble that on Yunlin Laoren (Ni Zan). In fact, they are different. Only those who are knowledgeable can distinguish this.
(12) Painted at Hanshang (Yangzhou).
