Egrets on a Snowy Bank
Ma Yuan
Southern Sung Dynasty
(A.D. 1127-1279)
Hanging scroll.
ink and colors on silk.
95.0 x 37.6cm
Ma Yuan, a native of
Hochung, later lived at
Ch'ien-t'ang (Hangchow).
Here the withered reeds,
bamboos and ripples on the
water are painted with a
trembling brush. The color
wash is highly effective,
and the painting is suffused
with a solemn stillness that
captures the attention.
