Scroll Painting Item Number: 2846/2 from the MOA: University of British Columbia
Description
Scrolled painting of an autumn landscape. A small boat is shown on the water with a single figure in the boat and parts of the landscape visible at the upper left and lower right. There is a red stamp in the bottom right corner of the painting. The painting is attached to a larger piece of paper, which appears to have a very thin layer of silk around the border, weighted at the bottom with the wooden scroll, and a cord attached to the top.
Narrative
Painter may have been from the Shanghai school? The painting attached to the scroll may have been cut down from a larger image?
