inscription: Artist's inscription, signature, and 2 seals:
Row after row of misty trees envelop the Buddhist Monastery./
But the rustic who comes to find it will not lose his way./
Just across the wooden bridge, the dusty world is cut off;/
Among the countless falling petals, birds are singing confusedly.
Daofu 道複 composed [this]. [seals] Fufu shi 復甫; Baiyang shanren 白陽山人.
