介绍（中）	鞠杰是土生土长的苏州人，曾跟随文嘉（1501-1583）学习绘画，但也接受过文正明（1470-1559）的指导，他模仿温正明的风格非常成功，以至于人们认为他是大师最有才华的学生。然而，在拒绝了苏州皇绸厂太监经理的传唤后，居杰一家陷入了贫困。后来，他在虎丘脚下建了一座小房子，过着相对贫困和健康不佳的生活——正如他的题词所证明的那样：在嘉靖在位的冀卫年，在微寒之日（1559年12月29日），玄金顺便拿出了这张纸，用我笨拙的画笔逼我画了一幅画。当时我生病了，长期忽视了毛笔和墨水。我无序地揉搓着;当然，人们一定会觉得它很糟糕。愿玄金不要因为我弄脏他漂亮的纸而生气。（译自阿施温·利普）这幅画以精致苍白、干涩的笔触，偶尔点缀深色墨水，展示了鞠杰对文正明精致的单色山水风格的掌握。然而，在Ju的解释中，树木和岩石的密集绞线呈现出几乎无法穿透的表面图案网，而构图底部的宽阔溪流几乎没有缓解这种现象，一个人物坐在那里欣赏风景。
介绍（英）	Ju Jie, a native of Suzhou, studied painting with Wen Jia (1501–1583) but also received instruction from Wen Zhengming (1470–1559), whose style he emulated so successfully that people considered him the master's most talented pupil. After refusing a summons from the eunuch manager of Suzhou's Imperial Silk Manufactury, however, Ju Jie's family was forced into poverty. He subsequently built a small home at the foot of Tiger Hill and lived out his life in relative poverty and ill health—as attested to by his inscription: In the jiwei year of the Jiajing reign on the day of Mild Cold [December 29, 1559] Xuanjin dropped by and produced this paper, pressing me for a painting by my clumsy brush. At the time I was ill and had long neglected brush and inkstone. In a disorderly way I daubed and rubbed; surely one must find it awful. May Xuanjin not be offended with my soiling his beautiful paper. (trans. after Aschwin Lippe) Executed in exquisitely pale, dry brushwork with occasional accents of dark ink, this painting showcases Ju Jie's mastery of Wen Zhengming's refined monochrome landscape style. In Ju's interpretation, however, the dense skein of trees and rocks presents an almost impenetrable web of surface patterns that is scarcely alleviated by the widening stream at the bottom of the composition, where a single figure sits admiring the view.
