About the piece
This elegant album leaf by Qian Hui'an, a prominent figure of the Shanghai School, captures a peaceful scene of two figures in a boat. Executed with refined linework and soft color washes, the composition features a seated scholar with a fan and a companion handling a basket of fruit, set against a misty, minimal background that emphasizes the stillness of the water.
