One of the few extant works demonstrating Fu’s early style before he traveled to Japan, this painting bears the artist’s inscription: “At the height of the summer, the Great Heat, in the renshen year [1932], I was traveling in Jinling [Nanjing]. With leisure time in the long summer, I painted this as a pastime.” When Fu left Japan, he entrusted his teacher Kinbara Seigo (1888–1963) with this landscape and other early works.
