The painting on this bottle is typical of Zhou’s classic late landscapes; it is exquisitely controlled, wrapped around the bottle, and inscribed with the date and place of painting in the neat, angular calligraphy of his later style. However, when he paints a continuous landscape, as in Sale 5, lot 72, Sale 8, lot 1098, and others, Zhou generally maintains a consistent scale or distance from his subject. In this case, the fisherman is viewed from a much closer vantage point than the scholars in the pavilion on the other side. The transition is handled faultlessly; after all, such variations in perspective had long been a technique of Chinese painting, particularly with horizontal scrolls. Sale 6, lot 145 is another example, although the absence of human figures on one side makes the difference in scale more subtle.
