Description
T: Wen-t'ao Yüan Chiang was from Chiang-tu in Chiangsu province, an area that had produced a number of painters. He was a court painter in the Yung-cheng period (1723-1735). He was known for large, decorative paintings in the spirit of the Northern Sung masters, but here in this small fan format he captures an intimate moment in time with a scholar seated at his lakeside pavilion. He exploits the rounded fan shape by echoing it in rocks, bridges, and water.
