Description:
Somewhere deep by the shadowy spring, where layers of mountain crags pile high, the roots of green pines coil around boulders. Behind the pines, clouds billow forth. Two lofty scholars wash their feet near the stream. They chatter idly and seem to have about them a highly refined air. Song Dynasty artists often took poems for the subject of their paintings as a method of combining poetry and painting into a single art work. Sitting on a Rock, Watching Clouds may have borrowed its subject from a poem by Wang Wei, who lived during the Tang Dynasty (618-906). His poem reads, "Happily, each time I come alone/Triumphing over matters, I reach self-knowledge in emptiness /I walk to where the water is scarce/And sit and watch the clouds rise/Occasionally, there is an elder tree-gentleman/And we chat and chuckle without heeding the time to return."
