介绍（中）	任训最初是和他的哥哥任雄（1820–1857）一起学习绘画的，但他的哥哥在他22岁时去世，缩短了学徒期。三年后，他在苏州找到了赞助人，到19世纪70年代，他的名气已经传遍了长江三角洲地区，并吸引了许多门徒。他一直保持着活跃的职业生涯，直到1887年，视力的恶化迫使他减少了绘画在绘制人物时，任正非经常遵循浙江艺术家对所谓浙派明代专业画家风格的地域偏好：在粗略的水墨山水中，用流畅的轮廓笔画绘制出的流畅的工笔和大型人物。Ren在这里采用了这种风格，暗示着冬季的大风吹着光秃秃的树枝，拍打着勇敢的婴儿车沉重的长袍。这个人物可能是任正非戏剧性地唤起了传统绅士在现代化面前的困境。他戏剧性的笔触使用快速旋转、调制的轮廓线，以图形的方式传达出学者服装扭曲和飘动的褶皱，赋予人物一种强烈的即时感。
介绍（英）	Ren Xun first studied painting with his elder brother, Ren Xiong (1820–1857), but his brother's death, when Xun was twenty-two, cut short the apprenticeship. Three years later he found patrons in Suzhou, and by the 1870s his fame had spread throughout the Yangzi River delta region and he had attracted a number of disciples. He maintained an active career until 1887, when deterioratiing eyesight forced him to curtail painting. In executing figures, Ren often followed Zhejiang artists' regional preference for the style of Ming dynasty professional painters of the so-called Zhe School: dashing virtuoso brushwork and large-scale figures drawn in animated outline strokes set within sketchy inkwash landscapes. Ren employed that style here to suggest a wintry gale pulling at the bare tree branches and whipping through the heavy robes of an intrepid stroller. The figure may be Ren's dramatic evocation of the plight of the traditional gentleman in the face of modernization. His dramatic brush style uses rapidly turning, modulated contour lines to convey graphically the twisting and fluttering folds of the scholar's garment, giving the figure a powerful sense of immediacy.
