Stylistic Comments: In this detail, the boulders on the mountain
are essentially close repititions of the same form.The vegitation is depicted
by using small hatch strokes all along the edges of the mountains and the
boulders. Although this painting shows lofty mountains, their softer rounded
shapes resemble more the Southern Song landscapes than the monumental mountains
of the Northern Song tradition.
