Second View of the Studio for Respecting the Fungus of Longevity
The painter Yang Tianbi produced this painting for Jiang Youxian (1766–1830), a prominent scholar-official of the nineteenth century. The title suggests that this was one of several views of Jiang’s garden that Yang painted. Deep within a nesting set of walls is a small set of rustic buildings, where stools and a couch await cultivated visitors.
