Modern Chinese Paintings: The Reyes Collection in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford
The Li river and the mountains of Guilin in the southwestern province of Guangxi are amongst China's most famous scenery. Xu Beihong visited the area in the late 1930s and produced a landscape closely comparable to the present work, but on a much larger scale, and including in the inscription a dedication to his future wife.
