Inside-painted landscapes snuff bottles by Ma Shaoxuan are rare comparing to the bottles painted with his popular themes ,such as his favored and repeated subject of old paintings ,rubbings and other documents known as ’bapo’ painting ,and his spectacular portrait bottles. Ma’s landscapes on snuff bottles seem often follow the same composition arrangement of a foreground ,diagonal middle ground ,and a far range of mountainous peaks.
