Fa Ruozhen (1613-1696) is also known by his zi (designated name) Hanru and his hao (literary name) Huangshi. A native of Jiaozhou in Shandong, Fa Ruozhen was skilled in landscape painting. This painting captures layered peaks enveloped in mist, merging grandeur with ethereal grace. It is a representative work of his late years. The work was created in the fourth year (1685) of the Kangxi reign, when the artist was 73.
