The painter took painstaking effort to depict the immortal's face, while the draperies, trousers as well the shoes are only suggested with a few brush strokes. His paintings are a development based on Liang Kai's "abbreviated brush" figure paintings. The background trees and rocks are conveyed with tapering brushstrokes and ink wash, obviously influenced by the style of Ma Yuan and Xia Gui. It is recorded that Wu Wei was famous for his indulgence in drinking and unconditional and unrestrained conduct. Once when he was received by the emperor he overturned the ink, he improvised a painting Pine and Wind. The background trees and rocks, the minimal composition, the brush strokes resembling cursive script, unrestrained use of ink are all in accordance with the description concerning Wu Wei's painting style in historical records.
  The painter signed in the lower left corner: "Little Immortal" (Xiaoxian, the sobriquet of Wu Wei) and affixed his relief seal "Little Immortal Wu Wei". According to The Calligraphy and Painting Record of the Studio of Sealing the Books by Wen Jia, the painting was once in the collection of Ming official Yan Song (1480-1565).
