Physical Description
An ink painting of a mountainscape with hills and abstract paths. Trees are depicted in darker shades, though most do not hold any detail. The image is in the lower half of the hanging scroll, and the upper half is covered with text. The image is entirely grey-scale.
Subject Matter
The subject is the Taoist or Buddhist recluse, which Shi Tao painted often. Here the artist has signed the painting with his monastic names Yuanji (“Origin of Salvation”) and Xia Zun Zhe (“Honorable Blind One”). The text above the image is an accompaniment written by art historians praising Shitao's work.
