Catalogue Note
Artist's inscription:
The jasper mansion's brushwood gate is shuttered in daytime.
The phoenix riders have disappeared into the infinite distance.
The sky opens into a distant painting of an ancient pavilion.
On the ground remain elixirs and holy plants.
Across ten thousand valleys with untamed clouds, sunshine is soon to yield to rain.
Above a pond with autumn water the night sky contains stars.
Where is Magu riding her immortal crane now?
Beyond the railing a lone peak stands in the brightening dawn.
