Context:

This small oval ink painting displays the landscape subject matter and "one corner" compositional device associated with Hsia Kuei (active 1180-1224) and other artists of the Southern Sung painting academy.

A series of structures linked by a long, covered walkway are shown nestled into pine covered mountain slopes overlooking a mist shrouded valley. The vision is of a harmonious, inviting, and controlled environment. Replacing the immeasurable vastness of earlier Northern Sung ink landscape painting is a somewhat more limited and restrained view of nature reflecting the shift toward the poetic, intimate, and more impressionistic vision of the Southern Sung academy.
