A second similar composition, formerly attributed to the Song Dynasty Emperor Huizong (1082-1135), and featuring a similar slender gold inscription as the present lot, is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art (13.220.89), acquired in 1913. That scroll is presently dated as "Ming/Qing dynasty". The present painting exhibits particularly fine brushwork. The figures' faces are alive with animation and expression, and despite the sparse furnishings the artist graces the painting with lovely details.
