Puppies Playing beside a Palm Tree and Garden Rock
Not on view
The animals, plants, and craggy Taihu rock in this lighthearted garden scene are realistically described in a manner characteristic of the Southern Song Painting Academy. However, the slightly stiff and flat drawing as well as the relative coarseness of the silk indicate a later date, perhaps early Ming, when the reconstructed Imperial Painting Academy took the Song Academy style as its mode.
