Description
This is an ink painting by Wu Deyi (1864-1927). It depicts a lone figure on a boat close to shore. Despite its small size, the cliff face along the coastline appears overbearing. A two-line inscription taken from a poem by famed Tang courtesan Yu Xuanji (844-871) expresses thoughts about existing in the world while remaining untroubled by its problems.
