Landscape with fisherman

Qi Zhijia Chinese

Not on view

The image of a lone fisherman piloting a humble skiff is one of the classic motifs of reclusion. This rendition of the theme was originally mounted on a folding fan. The painting would have adorned one side, while the other would have featured a poem (now lost).
