Description
Notes:
"The size and shape suggests that [this scroll] might have been mounted as a screen. This may account for the fact that it's rather beat up, as if exposed a lot, but still strong . . . Huang Shen often did big pictures, but they tended to be of large, sometimes rather gross figures. This one is better than most, although also, no doubt, done rather quickly. . . he was prolific, [and] adopted a style that would permit him to be."
