Artist’s inscription:
Last fall, I acquired this striking view of the Northern Mojie
Mountain and thought how pleasant it would be to have a
dwelling here. I did not have a chance to materialize this
vision, I painted it instead. Would you, my very dear friend
[Tang Hung], like to join me here to enjoy the serenity of
this land?
