This is an early work by Xiang, painted a few years after he decided to leave the capital Beijing to return home to Jiaxing, Zhejiang province. In his inscription above the painting, Xiang describes the pleasure of having a quiet space of his own, away from the bustle of city life. Today is the equinox, marking the first day of Autumn 🍂 🔎 Xiang Shengmo (1597–1658), ‘Reading in the Autumn Forest’. Hanging scroll, 1623. #BritishMuseum #Autumn #Equinox」9月23日 18時01分
