Wang Yuanqi (1642-1715), also known by his zi (designated name) Maojing and hao (literary names) Lutai and Shishi Daoren, was a native of Taicang in Jiangsu, and one of the "Six Masters of the Early Qing". This painting portrays layered peaks and luxuriant forests, with a composition and texture strokes similar to Dwelling in the Mountains on a Summer Day. It demonstrates his approach of learning from antiquity without being constrained by it. The work was created in the 40^th year (1701) of the Kangxi reign, when the artist was 60 years old.
