Inscription
Top poem: As the wind sweeps across the mountains, leaving them empty, the bright moon rises overnight, passing over the eastern woods. In the silence of mountains and rivers, who reigns supreme? Who is willing to exchange the winds and clouds for great harmony? Bottom poem: In the bright moonlight, a long whistle echoes through the cool breeze. Jiachen, in the small courtyard of the Wu family in Jinghua.
天风过处万山空，一宵明月过林东，山河寂寂谁为主？肯将风云酬大同。 消息明月里，长啸烁清风，甲辰于京华吴家小院。

Description
A tiger strides through ink-washed pine, titled in large running script “The Great King.” Above, Wu’s poem asks who rules the silent mountains and rivers; below, a second inscription dates the work to jiachen (2024) in a Beijing courtyard. Seals of the artist and auspicious legends complete a literati hanging scroll of heroic animal painting.
