Poet Fisherman
The image depicts Poet Fisherman by an unknown artist. The painting shows a man sitting on a woven mat on a body of water. The man is wearing a long, loose white robe with a black collar and a brown hat. He sits cross-legged on the mat with his right hand raised, holding a pipe. A fishing rod extends from his left hand into the water. A large bird flies above him on the left. A small pot sits beside him on the right. The background features wavy lines indicating water and tall grasses on the right side. Chinese characters are written in black ink at the top right corner. The entire scene is set against a muted greenish-brown background.
