內容簡介（英文） |
A boy lies on the back of a mother ox. Her calf is shown following with its neck craned and bellowing. The ox wags her tail in response. This heartwarming relationship between mother and child is lovingly portrayed here. Although this painting bears no seal or signature of the artist, it was attributed by the Ch’ing connoisseur Liang Ch’ing-piao to Li T’ang. The description of the oxen and the texture strokes of the rocks, however, differ from those of Li T’ang. This is perhaps a work from the early Ming dynasty (1368-1644). Li T’ang specialized in landscape, figure, and ox painting. Under Hui-tsung, he entered the Painting Academy. He resumed service under Kao-tsung in the late 1120s, becoming Painter-in-Attendance.
