Boating in Moonlight

Painted in bold brushstrokes and ink wash, contrasting black and white, and occupied and voided space, this intimately sized painting depicts a scholar-hermit enjoying elegant boating under moonlight. The theme of a moonlight boat excursion below a cliff depicted in this work echoes the tradition of illustrating "Ode to the Red Cliff," a pair of poems by Su Shi, famous Northern Song Chinese poet (1037–1101).
