Dong Qichang (1555-1636), a native of Huating (present-day Songjiang, Shanghai), is also known for his zi (designated name) Xuanzai, and hao (literary name) Xiangguang Jushi. An art connoisseur, the artist was adept in both calligraphy and landscape painting. Dong Qichang painted this painting at the end of the Tianqi reign and the beginning of the Chongzhen reign, while Chen Jiru wrote the poems on another piece of paper mounted on the scroll.
