Catalogue Note
Artist inscription:
Slightly after Wen Daizhao (Wen Zhengming, 1470-1559)'s brush idea, in his loose style. I also copied a Tang Jieyuan (Tang Yin, 1470-1524)'s poem that is suitable for this painting. Cheng Zhang painted the trees and the hut, Pu Hua added the mountains and the inscription.
