曾其（1922-2015），福建閩侯人，字文珍，水墨畫家。畢業於福建省立師範習藝所。曾隨溥心畬學畫，為其入室女弟子，得老師喜愛，後為溥氏遺物處理小組一員。她擅長山水、人物、花鳥等，偶作人物與仕女作品。畫風接近溥心畬，精緻工整。曾舉辦五次個展，作品受歷史博物館典藏。1992年擔任國立故宮博物院館員。為台灣中國畫學會、中國美術協會、甲辰畫會、文藝聯誼會會員。1978年受英國劍橋國際傳記中心編入《世界婦女名錄》。
溥心畬為前清皇族出身，其人溫文儒雅，學養豐碩，繪畫重視習古，特別是馬遠、倪瓚、唐寅等作品。其細膩別緻的筆法，也影響門生如江兆申、曾其等人。此作描繪梨山賓館周遭山景。梨山賓館為一座宮殿式旅館，位於海拔1935公尺的高山之上，1965年落成，曾為蔣中正總統行館之一，由於其古色古香的外觀，曾被視為中橫地標。
此作中，畫家用基底為棕黃色的紙材，在雲霧與建築山牆處施以胡粉，並於留白處營造出更多層次。其中，為生動刻畫白雪靄靄之景，畫家多用濕筆皴染石壁，增添水氣豐潤之感。工整描繪的樓閣居於中景山腰之上，被雲霧及白雪覆蓋的樹林環繞其間。畫家雖以隨興的筆法描繪山林，然而簡練的山林與精細的賓館建築，恰如其分地產生主從對應關係，更容易理解畫家的創作意圖。（501字）

Tseng Chi (1922–2015) was born in Minhou, Fujian Province. Her courtesy name is Wen-chen, and she is an ink painter. She graduated from the Fujian Provincial Teachers' Training School of Arts and Crafts. She studied painting under Pu Hsin-yu as one of his inner-circle female students, and was a teacher favorite; she was later a member of the group responsible for handling Pu Hsin-yu's estate. She excels in landscape, figure, and bird-and-flower painting, and occasionally produces figure and court lady works. Her style is close to that of Pu Hsin-yu—refined and meticulous. Tseng has held five solo exhibitions, and her works are held in the collection of the National Museum of History. In 1992 she served on the staff of the National Palace Museum, and she is a member of the Taiwan Chinese Painting Society, China Art Association, Chia-chen Painting Society, and Literary Arts Fellowship. In 1978 she was included in the International Biographical Centre (Cambridge, UK) publication Women of the World.

Pu Hsin-yu was a member of the former Qing imperial family, a man of refined and cultured elegance with a rich scholarly background; his painting placed great importance on the study of classical works, particularly those of Ma Yuan, Ni Zan, and Tang Yin. His delicate and distinctive brushwork also influenced students such as Chiang Chao-shen and Tseng Chi. This work depicts the mountain scenery surrounding the Lishan Guest House. The Lishan Guest House is a palace-style hotel situated at an elevation of 1,935 meters above sea level; completed in 1965, it once served as one of President Chiang Kai-shek's retreat residences, and its classical, antique appearance has made it a landmark along the Central Cross-Island Highway.

In this work, the artist used a base of brownish-yellow paper, applying lead white to the cloud, mist, and gable-wall areas, and creating additional layers of depth within the blank spaces. To vividly depict the scene of snow-cloaked white, the artist applied abundant wet brushwork to cun-texture the stone walls, adding a quality of moisture and richness. The meticulously depicted pavilions and buildings are positioned at the mountainside in the middle ground, surrounded by forest covered in clouds, mist, and white snow. Although the artist depicts the mountain forest with a free and unrestrained style, the contrast between the spare, simplified forest and the detailed rendering of the guest house creates an appropriate principal-and-secondary relationship, and the artist's creative intent is all the more readily understood for it.
