About this work

This ink-on-silk painting shows a misty river at dawn. Two small boats drift near reeds. A lone figure stands on one boat, fishing pole in hand. Wang Gai used soft washes of gray and blue to show depth. The brushwork is loose but precise. The scene feels quiet and timeless. Check out more Qing landscapes at the Cleveland Museum of Art.
