A catalogue of the Ashmolean collection of Chinese paintings by Shelagh Vainker (published Oxford, 2000).
Shen Fuji was born in Jiangsu province, and practiced both calligraphy and painting. Very little is known about him, and his dates are unrecorded. In this painting, he claims to follow the style of Shitian weng, also known as Shen Zhou (1427-1509).
