Context:
This painting was a cooperative venture; Wei Shijie painted the portrait of Hua Yan, while Hua Yan-who later became a famous painter-furnished the landscape backdrop. The portrait shows how youthful the subject appeared at the age of 23. He is depicted with a sword at his back, a reference to his early desire for a military career. He also wears a scholarly robe, which suggests an opposing aspiration. Together these are signs of a complex personality and indications of the varied identities Hua Yan would assume during his lifetime.The painting also shows Hua Yan's early talent in painting. In the landscape backdrop, he reveals a quick pace of brushwork, a liquid inktone, and a masterful handling of the peaks, ravines, and waterfall. Interestingly, these are also the very traits he would abandon in his mature years.
