Solitary Angler on a Wintry River 

Exhibition information
There are currently no plans to exhibit this artwork at the TNM Collection Exhibitions.

The image of a lone fisher on a boat such as this symbolized an ideal state of seclusion conceived by Chinese scholar-officials. With vast blank spaces, this work was initially praised for its poetic feel, but is now deemed that it was deftly cut out from a larger work.
