The following comes from Yu Jianhua's standard tome of painter biographies:
���P˼�������ˣ��ֺ�˼��̖̓�ף�һ����˼������ͨ����ɽˮ���f���g�c�����R�����F�残۔���������f�Ѹ��ӣ�һ����������������춳絝���磨һ��������������ʮ�ꡣ�����겻Ԕ�����˞�����P������֮һ�����Pī�A�ɣ�����ʢ��֮����ȫ����ɽ�}ˮ���M���d֮���¡����һ�壬���h�����������������M���h�����ݲݔ��P�����X�����韡�ʹ�������ҷx����Ҳ��Ω�ܷ������ܺ����ɶ������壬�Ǟ���Ƿ��
Kuan Ssu was a native of Wu-ch��eng, Chekiang. His style name was Ho-ssu; his sobriquets were Hs��-pai, Chiu-ssu and Chung-t��ung. Excelling in landscape painting, Kuan Ssu and Sung Hs�� were equally famous during the Wan-li period (1573-1619). The earliest painting by Kuan Ssu still extant is dated 1600; the latest 1630. This is one of his earliest paintings now extant. The fluency of brush and ink reveal that it is a mature work. The painting is composed of serried peaks and layered streams which are painted with increasingly dilute washes as they recede into the distance. Blue and ochre pigment are used on the mountains and distant embankments.
Store the scroll rolled up.
