Find the small house at the lower right, then climb past the pine and the clouds to the top of the great rock.
In a second leaf from the same album, the title names Fang Congyi, a Chinese painter of the 14th century. A towering rock, dotted with dark ink, rises above bands of white cloud. Below it, a pine and a tree with red leaves stand near a small house, and a thin waterfall drops at the left.
