| Description | Chinese painting titled: "Visiting a Friend in His Mountain Retreat" attributed to Tang Yin 唐寅 (1470-1523 CE). Pine trees are stiff, hard, regular and no tonality and fluctuation. The interesting touch of the lower right corner-the winding road and two deers adds not only feeling of space and remoteness to the cottage but also creates tranquility and friendliness. Formerly in the collection of John Calvin Ferguson (1866 - 1945 CE). |
