Enjoying Antiquities Tu Chin (fl. ca. 1465-1505), Ming Dynasty Hanging scroll, ink and colors on silk, 126.1 x 187 cm     Originally, this work may have been two hanging scroll panels mounted as a standing screen. Representing the appreciation of antiquities, it depicts the leisurely activities of zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting associated with literati. The style is elegant and straightforward, much in the tradition of the Southern Sung (1127-1279) academic mode. Tu Chin's fine brush style, as seen in the figures here, greatly influenced the style of  T'ang Yin starting  from the middle of his career.
