Bird Study with Narcissus and Rock, after Chen Hongshou
This composition after Chen Hongshou includes Chen's inscription: "On a snowy night in the wuchen year [1628] I got drunk by the Ruoye River [near Chen's hometown].My friend pressured me to paint, even though my ten fingers almost cracked from the cold. This is painted when I had more leisure. Hongshou painted this while intoxicated in my study."
In the upper right corner is an unrelated study of a bird that appears in finished form in Doves and Bamboo, which Xie executed in 1949.
