The tall, dramatic mountains and pine trees rendered here by Zou Zhilin create the perfect secluded setting for a scholar wishing to retreat from society.
The inscribed poem adds to the scene’s evocativeness:
The cold water in the pool gives birth to the moon
The wind blowing among pine trees in the night is reminiscent of autumn
Painted in the fifth moon in the summer of 1647.
