About the Artwork
The Japanese artist Tomioka Tessai (1836-1924) adds a colophon on the last page, commenting on the rarity of Fan Qi's paintings among those of the Eight Masters of Nanjing. They were modeled after Tang and Song masters and captured the rhythms of life. "Whenever I open this album, my mind is pleased," he writes.
