Landscape after Huang Gongwang (Translation)
倣黃公望山水圖 清晚期 吳穀祥 紙本設色 (Primary Title)
Wu Guxiang 吴穀祥, Chinese， 1848 - 1903 (Artist)
Wu Guxiang, a painter from Zhejiang Province in southeastern China, was also known by his pen name, Qiunong, meaning “Autumn Farmer”, a reference to the reclusive lifestyle of Chinese scholars. He specialized in flower, landscape, and figurative paintings of women, and was known by his firm brushwork and misty mountain landscapes. In the style of Qing-dynasty painter Dai Xi, this painting layers mountains in the background with scattered trees in the foreground.
Qing dynasty (1644–1911)

煙客倣大癡峯巒樹石, 鬱然森秀，具有太古之色，絕不以姿致取妍。愈見構思精密, 非近人所就擬議也。吳穀祥。
