The title of this picture is: “Written by Yu Zhiding in Guangling in the early winter of Jiashen.” The seal of “Yu Zhiding” is white, the seal of “Shen Zhai” is Zhu, and the seal of “Feng Jia” is in the lower right corner. Jia Shen was the 43rd year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty (1704), and Yu Zhiding was 58 years old. Yu lived in the capital after the age of 50. At this time, he was in the prime of his painting history. His techniques were learned from many families and were used by himself
This picture is for examination. In the picture, the passers-by stood on the shore with a gentle face and a smiling nod; Travelers stand as boats, with thin and resolute face and melancholy expression. The character’s face is accurately and delicately depicted, and the five facial features are outlined with ink bone technique to make the face have a concave-convex feeling, and then dyed with ochre to make the spirit of life and blood appear on the paper. The faces of the servants are painted in a more traditional way, which is not strong in stereoscopic sense and more moist, showing a simple and lively look
The painting method of the figure’s clothing lines also depends on the person. Among them, the clothing lines of the bow servants are completely the “grasshopper drawing” technique of Ma Hezhi in the Northern Song Dynasty, revealing Ma’s “loose clothing belt, soft and meaningful” painting style. The painting method of the tree is the “crab claw” branch of Guo Xi of the Northern Song Dynasty. The painting of cattle and horses has Tang rhyme, the bones of cattle are clear, the horse has round hips, and the spot is dyed with light ink halo, which is quite shiny and vivid
The cold and quiet atmosphere reflects the warmth and sadness of farewell. The fine wine, books, wine gourds, bows and swords on the boat and carriage were cleverly arranged by the painter in the scene of moving to see off, giving the picture a fresh life atmosphere, and displaying the elegant and free temperament of the scholars and scholars.
