Document source description
Yü Chi was a famous painter of beauties. According to one interpretation, this court lady is about to write a love poem on the leaf, which she will then throw into a brook. It will float into the hands of a man who earlier had casually written a similar poem on a leaf and tossed it into a stream near the palace, where it was picked up by the lady depicted here.
