He was a multifaceted artist, skilled in all genres of painting. Behing an unusual rock (symbolic of longevity) with immortal fungus grow narcissi. Branches with sparse red leaves emerge from the side; a starling perched atop dips his body as he sings. The brushwork is rich, and the ink was applied with marvelous freedom. The painting is filled with an atmosphere of hoary strength. &*1.〈明藍瑛羣仙上壽圖〉,收入國立故宮博物院編,《晚明變形主義畫家作品展》(臺北:國立故宮博物院,1977年九月初版),頁406。
