The painter out sketching is like a hunter: one must climb mountains and ford streams, poking about everywhere, and only with a quick eye and hand for the scene and the thing can one seize something. Without entering the tiger’s den, how get the cub?—there is no place for gentility. This picture is poor, yet the energy I spent on the road was great. A small note by Jianhou on the shore of Taihu at Dongshan, a cloudy day in the eleventh month of the guimao year.
