清溪屋前無塵事,畦塘若鏡映古書;長日素齋飽腹罷,竹窗虛寂坐如如。甲午夏月慧斌作之。
2 seals of the artist, 南園、慧斌
This landscape painting, titled "Silent Sitting," is filled with poetry and tranquility. In the scene, a small house quietly sits beside a clear stream, surrounded by dense trees and peaceful fields. On the left side of the painting, the artist has inscribed a poem in calligraphy: "In front of the house by the clear stream, there is no worldly dust; The vegetable garden pond reflects the ancient books like a mirror. After a long day of simple vegetarian meals, I sit quietly by the bamboo window, enjoying the serene emptiness." The poem describes a scene in front of the house by the clear stream, free from the disturbances of the world. The pond in the vegetable garden reflects ancient books like a mirror. After a long day of simple vegetarian meals, the artist sits quietly by the bamboo window, enjoying a life of serene emptiness and non-action. The entire painting uses delicate brushstrokes and soft colors to vividly express the beauty and harmony of the natural landscape. It also conveys the artist's longing for rural life and pursuit of a tranquil state of mind, allowing viewers to feel a sense of transcendent peace and serenity.
