The land masses are executed in stratified texture-strokes whereby the end of the brush is rolled downward sideways. Washes are little used, further lending a feeling of strength to the texture strokes. The painting was done in the autumn of 1366,when Ni Tsan was sixty-five years old. One of the "Four Masters of the Yüan Dynasty," he was noted for his landscapes. From a wealthy family in Wu-hsi, Kiangsu, Ni Tsan collected antique calligraphic works and paintings and built a garden pavilion called Halcyon Seclusion. Style named Yüan-chen, he also went by the sobriquets Yün-lin, or Cloud Forest, and Yü-weng, or Daft Old Man.
