Inscribed by zha shibiao:
rising in the morning to view the mountains
and the water half hidden by mist,
the secluded man has no mundane cares;
a fishing boat is his floating home. The artist signed with the name "old man of plum valley. " zha shibiao was himself a "secluded man," for his political loyalties were to the former ming dynasty, replaced by the qing [ch'ing] in 1643. Date: circa 1687. Place of creation: China. Dimensions: height: 38 cm (14.9 in); width: 27.5 cm (10.8 in). Medium: ink on paper. Collection: Walters Art Museum. Zha Shibiao - Mountains at Dawn - Walters 35208B
