Hua Yan

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a painting of a scholar watching fish. The scene shows a man sitting on a rocky outcropping, leaning on a large rock. The man has dark hair and wears a white robe. The man looks down into the water, where several fish swim. A smaller person stands on the right side of the image holding a basket. The rocky outcropping has a large tree growing from it with green leaves. The background features more mountains and a hazy sky. The painting is done in black ink and some color on a beige background. The painting is surrounded by a textured beige mat and a thin brown frame. There is a red seal in the bottom-right corner of the painting.
