Not much is known of the biography of Shen Zhi, except that he was from Xiushui in Zhejiang province, and was born around 1618. The inscription on this landscape reads:

Luxuriant valley and soaring peak now turn to autumn
The lodge in the park is swept, bamboos give coolness and seclusion
Casually, leaning on a staff, I idly come and go,
From time to time with the mountain monk I talk over former journeys

For my friend Kai-yuan,
painted in the style of Cao Yunxi [of the Yuan period]
