Catalogue Note

Artist's inscription:
I walk with my staff to visit a friend and while away time, but he has yet to return from harvesting medicinal plants in the mountains. The flowing stream and unkempt bridge are both shaded by pine trees, as children by the river point at the ever-changing clouds.
