Compare with a square cinnabar lacquer dish, but with buffalos at pasture, mid-Ming dynasty, in the Qing Court Collection, illustrated in , Hong Kong, 2006, pp.130–131, no.97. The theme of scholars visiting or gathering with friends, accompanied by attendants amid terraced gardens and pavilions, can also be seen on a square dish of the Yongle period, illustrated in ., no.33, and another square dish, also of the Yongle period, no.39. Such scenes evoke the cultivated ideal of scholarly friendship and leisurely retreat, in which the meeting of like-minded companions provides an occasion for conversation and appreciation of the natural surroundings. Compare also the depiction of a scholar beside a pavilion beneath a pine tree on a circular cinnabar lacquer box and cover, Xuande six-character mark and of the period, illustrated in , Taipei, 1998, p.49, no.29.
盤四方，敞口直壁，淺腹平底。盤心隨形開光，四角微委，開光內作天、地錦紋，左側木石掩映，亭台聳立。高士獨坐案前，遠望來客。松蔭之下，二老緩步而至，一揖一隨，一持竿在後。壁內四開光，均呈海棠式，開光內不設錦地，各雕花卉，開光外方以錦地為飾，點綴四隅。
比較清宮舊藏一件明中期剔紅牧牛圖方盤，見《故宮博物院藏文物珍品全集：元明漆器》，香港，2006年，頁130至131，編號97。文士訪友或雅集，偕侍從行於園林亭台之間之題材，亦見於永樂時期一件方盤，見同書，編號33；另有永樂方盤一件，見同書，編號39。此類場景寄寓文士友誼與閒居隱逸之理想，志同道合者相聚，正可清談論道，共賞自然。另可比對一件宣德六字款剔紅圓蓋盒，盒面繪文士坐於松下，見《和光剔彩：故宮藏漆》，台北，1998年，頁49，編號29。
