來源：意大利私人收藏，並由家族繼承下去

款識：
長天秋水夕陽飛，紅樹林亭策杖回。笑問阿翁何處返，攜琴訪友過橋西。石谷、雲林法。傳芳居士汪野亭寫意。
水繞山環古寺，霞飛雲擁孤村。老木懸垂石壁，漁舟繫泊湖汀。平山草堂主人野亭汪平書畫並題。

印文：平印、野亭

The inscription may be translated as:

"Amidst the broad sky, above the autumn waters, the evening sun hovers; returning with a cane in hand from red trees and wooded pavillion. I ask the elderly gentleman with a laugh 'From where are you returning?'; He took along a qin to visit a friend across the western bridge. In the style of Shigu and Yunlin. Written by Chuanfang jushi Wang Yeting.
Winding waters coil round the mountain and ancient temple, red clouds drift and wrap around the solitary village; The old tree hangs from the stone cliff, the fishing boat moored beside the lake's bank. Inscribed and painted by the owner of the Thatched Hall of Pingshan, Yeting Wangping."

A pair of famille rose rectangular 'landscape' panels, dated 21st Year of the Republic (AD1932), with signature of Wang Yeting, from the same collection, was sold in these rooms on 17 May 2012, lot 397.

Wang Yeting (1884-1942) was one of the well known members of the Jingdezhen porcelain painting group known as the 'Eight Friends of Zhushan'. See also a plaque signed by Wang Yeting and a vase with the seal mark of Wang Yeting, both from the Anthony Evans Collection, which were sold in these rooms, 10 November 2011, lots 596 and 605 respectively.
