Description

Artists at the Southern Vocal Painting Academy were often trained in illustrating poetry. Here, Ma Lin responds to a poem composed by Tang poet Wang Wei (701–nearly 761) and written past emperor Song Lizong: "I walk unto where waters cease—And sit down to watch when clouds arise." While 2 thirds of the round fan foliage remain empty, Ma Lin paints a scholar who gazes at a vast landscape panorama with a shore shrouded in mist and faint mountain ranges in the distance.

This leaf and the emperor'south calligraphy were originally mounted together and must have fabricated a precious imperial gift when bestowed on a worthy official or high dignitary.
