A white-green jade table screen and stand

A light green jade table screen carved in relief with a cloudy, moon-lit scene of pavilions and trees between needle-like rocks. Shoulao and an attendant are seen lower left with three cranes flying above them. Two engraved poems to the other side praising the Shiren and the Tian Du Feng mountain peaks, signed: yu ti (Imperial inscription). On a wooden stand, finely carved with archaic dragons.
Plaque 13.5 x 18.2 cm; height with stand 22.1 cm

The poems read as follows:
Yu ti Shiren feng
He lai zui xian ren, zhuo li jiu qiu qing?
Si xi fu qiu zi, pai kong jia he zheng?

Tiandu feng
Tian jiu bai ren, wei ran qie tai xu?
Wo sui wei sheng dian, xian lu: yuan ke hu

青白玉『黄山三十六峰图』圖詩文插屏
《御題石人峰:何來醉仙人,卓立九秋清。似盻浮丘子,排空駕鶴征。天都峰:天都九百仞,巍然切太虛。我雖未升顛,仙侶原可呼。》
