Leaning on a staff for support, a gentleman approaches the gate of a garden retreat. In a small tile-roofed structure at the center of the retreat sits the host, who awaits his guests. This depiction of a garden retreat was painted by You Yin, a scholar-painter who mixed in elite circles in Beijing during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. According to You’s inscription, the scene depicts a villa in the Southern City section of Beijing that was home to most scholars who traveled from around the empire to serve at court. The recipient is identified only by his nickname, Old Man Yue, and his identity remains a mystery.
