About this work

Depicts, in the "blue and green style," an open pavilion overlooking a landscape with a bay. The mountainous landscape is dotted with various flowering trees and vines, as well as pine and bamboo. In the open pavilion three scholars, accompanied by two attendants, examine a painting. They are surrounded by three tables piled with bundles of scrolls and archaic metal vessels, and by a painting on a screen. In the courtyard outside the pavilion, a servant carries a red tray with cups. The pavilion and courtyard are enclosed by a fence whose gate is flanked by lion sculptures. Outside the gate, two men are approaching bearing bundles of scrolls. Six seals, siganture and inscription, label on back. One of two with F09.156.
