While the earlier Northern Song masters created their brush idioms to capture the impressionistic effects of nature, later followers adopted the ancient methods for creative improvisations.Size: Painting: 176.4 x 101 cm (69 7/16 x 39 ¾ in.); Overall with knobs: 290 x 121.3 cm (114 3/16 x 47 ¾ in.)Medium: hanging scroll, ink on silkhttps://clevelandart.org/art/1971.19 -- source link
