Album of Miscellaneous Subjects, Leaf 3, 1600s. Leaf 3 This leaf evokes Wang Wei's poetic line: Sit and watch the clouds rising. Xu Fang's colophon reads: Green are the reeds, the sun not yet set; Tree foliage and mountain colours divide the lake into two halves. A solitary recluse sits upon a flat bluff, Occasionally observing white clouds rising from the mountain tops.
