Fu Baoshi did this painting in 1946, while he was living in Sichuan's Jingangpo. Fu was in love with Sichuan, a beautiful and mystical place, thus created numerous magnificent landscapes of the Sichuan mountains and their unique atmospheres.
In this painting, a scholar is walking with his attendant on a winding road in this fantastic scenery of the mountains partly hidden by the white snow and fog.This is a typical view of the area near Jingangpo. This painting was done in a bird's eye view perspective - the small characters act as a window, which enables the viewer to peer through, and behold the vast landscape. It is interesting to note that this present painting was dedicated by the artist to Ms Lan Meiqing which seems to be a Chinese name for a European lady.
