Water Pavilion in an Autumn Forest
Returned to lender
This work of art was on loan to the museum and has since been returned to its lender.Fu’s inscription reads:
Qing [1644–1911] landscapes painted before the Qianlong [1736–1796] and Jiaqing [1796–1820] periods tended to focus on deep mountains and remote valleys. But Gong Xian [1619–1689], Gao Fenghan [1683–1749], and Lü Qian [1621–1706] followed a more vigorous style and brought forth stylistic transformation. Baoshi.
