Hezhang Peak

Lin Shu Chinese
dated 1921
Not on view
Were it not for the inscription, Lin Shu's painting might be taken for an idealized mountain landscape with a generic scholar gazing from a bridge. Lin writes that he has visited the wonderful caves and peaks of Wenzhou in Zhejiang, and that he is painting this fan as a "preview" for a friend who will accompany him on the same trip the following day.
