This landscape bears traces of influence from both Shih't'ao and Kung Hsien. In particular, Hsiao has combined layers of dry, crumbly brushstrokes with light color washes, creating a richly textured pictorial surface. The two scholars making their way up the mountain path to the cluster of buildings beyond exemplify the literati ideal of seeking solace in nature.
