• Description:
  This scroll depicts the lush trees on the waterfront slope, which are mixed with red ochre dotted leaves and stained with juicy green and rattan yellow. The water is dense and misty, presenting a romantic and colorful autumn scene. On the upper right, a poem “Autumn Ci” written by Liu Yuxi (772-842), a poet of the Middle Tang Dynasty, echoes the painting. However, compared with Dong’s works, the scenes in the paintings pay more attention to the expression of reasonable spatial levels and image details; The ink brush with grass on the edge of the rock, split roots, extremely wet and transparent moss spots and leaves are similar to Zhao Zuo’s paintings and should be his substitute.
