All seals by Xugu are very good. Brushwork of leaves with dark birds is freer, bolder than similar works. But overall, not best quality among Xugu’s works; painted informally for a friend; e.g., leaves with green hills and men under trees. Calligraphy written by Mr. Chen at request of Liu Songfu, dedicated to Ayscough and MacNair.
