This picture depicts the winter scenery of the mountain village: a few rafters in a thatched hut, a leaf in a small boat, and a high scholar wandering in it. The realm is desolate and quiet. The whole painting is made of dry brush, but the impression is not rough and dry, but subtle and beautiful, and the sense of hierarchy is also very rich. The old tree is suspicious, and the pen is delicate, especially the skill. According to the author’s inscription, he was 71 years old at the time of painting.
