Red seal: 蘇 (Su, artist’s last name)

Red seal: 心游高遠 Mind travels far

Among dense woods of bamboo, clouds and mists are lingering. The thatched gazebo is slightly bleak, seeming to be waiting for the friend. The artist uses colours carefully and renders layer by layer. The mountains are faintly visible in the distance, which is even more profound.

茂林秀竹間，雲霧繚繞。茅屋涼亭略顯淒涼，似乎靜待訪友。作者用色考究，層層細染。遠處高山隱約可見，更顯意景深遠。

題識款識：己亥霜降蘇健剛製

鈐印：

朱文：蘇, 心游高遠
