Inscription:
“In a thatched hut I sing of autumn, taking advantage of a fine evening,
cloudy mountains fill my eyes, illumined by the setting sun;
Poem complete I am happy to meet with guests,
finding my way to the fish dam by the sound of my supporting staff.
Imitating the brush conception of Dong Wenmin (Dong Qichang), Liugu.”
