Su Han-ch'en:
Children Playing in the Autumn Garden
Su Han-ch'en (second half of the eleventh century to the first half of the twelfth century) was a native of K'ai-feng, Honan province. A disciple of Liu Tsung-ku, he excelled in painting human figures and was especially celebrated for his painting of infants. In this piece, the children are rendered vivaciously, and the rock and flowers are sublime. This work, with its accurate composition and extremely minute depiction, is a masterpiece best indicating the characteristic of Su Han-ch'en.
