Subject Description:
In the scroll a scholar sits in an armchair and listens to his friend, who is seated on a stool and is playing a ruan. A servant stands nearby, holding a qin zither in readiness. The scroll appears to depict the qin master Xi Kang and the ruan master Ruan Ji, two of the 'Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove' who lived in the fourth century. That the season is early spring is clear from the new foliage on the willow tree, and the plum blossoms in the background. (S. Little, 1999)
