About this work
This painting bears a spurious signature of the Yuan dynasty painter Sheng Mou , is likely a 17th-century wholesale recreation of a recorded original of the same title and date done by Sheng Mou for the 14th-century poet Lu Pu. As such, the painting evidences the attention that Sheng Mou's work attracted in the early 17th century, and references in the spurious inscriptions a network of recorded and transmitted paintings seemingly created in imitation of the same original. While the brushwork is related to known 17th-century painting styles, the subject matter and composition of this painting do homage to compositions associated with the work of Sheng Mou.
