Description:
On an old tree near a stream an eagle perching on a withered branch looks behind while another lifts its wings in flight. Both are drawn in a life-like and spirited manner. The focus of this painting is slightly to the left, with mist and water filling the rest of the space. Ma Hezhi's unique manner of painting can be seen in the contours of the rocks and trees. His brush rises and falls in a broad manner, the strokes not connecting, as if he were drawing willow leaves. When drawing rocks, Ma tends more often to use pale ink, reserving darker tones for texture strokes. His brush is soft and supple, and his technique develops out of Guo Xi's method for drawing clouds. His graceful brush strokes are like floating clouds and running water, altogether departing from the common. He pursues a path of antique simplicity and refinement.
