​

Chen Yuping was a hydraulic engineer in Heilongjiang before he studied printmaking and joined the artists of the Great Northern Wilderness. He is best known for his glorious landscapes printed with oil-bound colour (nos. 2,94). Here, however, he used water-soluble colour to produce a completely different effect—more like a painting than a print. His cutting of the woodblock is especially fine and precise, managing to create a natural reflection of the water, as well as the swans in mist.
