This painting by Qian Xuan (1239-1301) is also a close companion to another painting in the current Metropolitan Museum exhibition Anatomy of a Masterpiece: How to Read Chinese Paintings for which there is a New York Times review by Holland Cotter (and a slideshow)

Can you tell me what other art names Qian Xuan went by. If not, where could I find this out?
Thanks.
