Walking on a Mountain Path in Spring (Chinese: 山徑春行) is a painting by Chinese artist Ma Yuan (c. 1160-1225). It is painted on an album leaf, which also contains a poem attributed to Emperor Ningzong Of Song inscribed in the upper right corner.[1]
The poem reads:
觸袖野花多自舞。避人幽鳥不成啼。
Wildflowers dance freely when touched by my sleeve. A secluded bird, avoiding people, cannot sing.
Mountain Path is done in Ma Yuan's One-Corner style, where most of the painting's imagery is in one corner.
