Literature
Pei Jingfu, Zhuangtaoge Shuhualu, (Paintings and Calligraphy in the Zhaungtu Studio), juan (chapter) 2, Zhonghua Publishing, Taipei, n.d., pp.44-47
Toan-zo shogafu (Paintings and Calligraphy in the To'an Collection), Hakubundo, Osaka, 1928, no.2
NOTE:
Apart from the strong brush strokes used to paint the trees in this scroll, the rest of the painting is loosely articulated. This is not a convincing example of a Yuan or early Ming painting. However, the colophons attached to the scroll are all of the highest standards. The colophons refer to a handscroll which comprises paintings by Dong Yuan, Juran, Li Cheng and Fan Kuan. It remains to be seen if that original scroll is still extant
