Sourced Overview Evidence

This minimalist landscape places most of the representational elements in the lower right foreground. A lone gentleman strolls along a zigzagging path by the water. With the gentleman’s staff acting as a visual cue, the viewer’s gaze is directed to geese flying over distant mountains. <br><br>The scene of a marshland, with its wet and soft ground dotted with vegetation, suggests springtime in Jiangnan. Combined with the flying geese, the album evokes the poetic lines: <br>By spring fields, geese are about to return, <br>Under chilly waters, fish are submerging. <br>春郊欲回雁, 寒水正沉鱼
