On this handscroll, we see topis that alternate between plants, fish, birds, a&nbsp;moonlit hillside, a seated Hotei, and &quot;a&nbsp;man&nbsp;seated&nbsp;before&nbsp;a large&nbsp;flower&nbsp;pot&nbsp;containing&nbsp;a&nbsp;profusion&nbsp;of&nbsp;lotus&nbsp;leaves.&nbsp;His cap&nbsp;indicates&nbsp;that&nbsp;he&nbsp;is&nbsp;probably&nbsp;a&nbsp;Confucian&nbsp;scholar&nbsp;who&nbsp;is relaxing&nbsp;on&nbsp;a&nbsp;summer&nbsp;day.&quot;&nbsp;<br />
&quot;They&nbsp;are&nbsp;executed&nbsp;with&nbsp;such&nbsp;quick&nbsp;brushwork&nbsp;and&nbsp;slight&nbsp;color&nbsp;that&nbsp;the entire&nbsp;scroll&nbsp;could&nbsp;have&nbsp;been&nbsp;completed&nbsp;at&nbsp;a&nbsp;single&nbsp;sitting.&quot;<br />
