Subject matter
The simple sketch style of Huang Yue's painting is an interpretation of Huang's painting theory summarized as a book "The Twentyfour Tastes of Paintings". The use of light ink, the purity in style, and the originality in brush stroke are all important characters of a good painting. The volume produced by the arrangement of distant mountains, and leaning on right side of the composition are valued by the Qing dynasty literati painting theory.

Physical Description
This painting (and the one adjacent) comes from an album of four landscape paintings.
