The style of his landscape, figure, and bird-and-flower paintings was quite innovative. Unconfined by traditional styles, he developed a manner of his own. This work shows an enclosed valley with trees on the right and a waterfall on the left. Six lohans are shown seated on rocks with figures looking at a dragon appearing from the clouds to the left. The unique composition bears exceptionally refined strokes (more so than in Wu’s other works) and elegant coloring. A sense of mystery pervades the archaic style that complements the manner of Ting Yün-p’eng. The inscription here is dated 1601 and indicates the work was in the Ch’i-hsia Temple.
