InscriptionsArtist’s inscription and signature (5 columns in standard script, undated) 渺渺青山接水光，飛飛寒雁背忙人。沖別浦，轉橫塘，兩岸蘆花一夜霜。石谷王翚 The boundless green mountains blend with their watery reflections. Wild geese fly off in winter, turning their backs on man in a frenzy. He rushes to the other shore, circling around the dike. Fluff on the reed blossoms along both banks has frosted in a single night. Shigu, Wang Hui
