"[This painting] isn't the more favored kind of Hung-jen with angular, geometric forms, but it is still genuine and fine, from late in his life."

Hung-jen was born in Chiang T'ao in Hsieh-hsien, Anhui province. He reportedly lived in poverty, yet he managed to obtain an education and an official degree, which would have allowed him to work in the civil service. However, with the fall of the Ming in 1644, he, like many other painters, chose to remain loyal to the Ming and thus became an I-min or "leftover subject." He became a Buddhist monk, took the name Hung-jen, and went to work in the deep mountains of Anhui. He reportedly seldom left his home on Mt. Huang other than to visit friends in Hangchou, Yangchou, and Nanking.

In this, one of his late masterpieces, he follows the Yÿ¼an dynasty painter Lu Kuang, who he mentions in the inscription. He uses the same compositional types as Lu Kuang, in particular the building up of forms to create substance and depth. Hung-jen is known to have been especially concerned with adhering to Yÿ¼an dynasty models and is credited with having brought the Yÿ¼an master Ni Tsan's style back into favor.
