InscriptionsArtist’s inscription and signature (4 columns in standard script, dated 1642) 崇禎壬午春三月，屏蹟水村閑窗，展閱古人墨本，遂擬北苑夏山圖意，以適幽況。湘翁王鑑 In the third month of the renwu year [1642] of the Chongzhen region, I retreated to a river village. By a window I enjoyed at leisure ancient ink paintings. So I copied Beiyuan’s [Dong Yuan’s] manner of painting the Summer Mountains scroll to suit my seclusion.
