The figure of the solitary boatman angling on a river was one of the most potent symbols of reclusion in premodern China. Beneath towering trees and backed by misty mountains, the gentleman relinquishes the cares of the dusty world and becomes one with the river and its ceaseless flow. Painted in broad, wet washes by Mao Qiling, a prominent scholar of the early Qing period (1662–1722), this image captures the theme of the fisherman-hermit and the joys of the river.
