This painting has a diagonal structure with a rocky cliff on the left and the autumn forest on the right. A boat gently passed by with a curious fisherman glancing towards the hidden birds on the left, bringing the eye to the forest. Pu Hsin-yu paid special attention in depicting expressions, as shown by the crouched fisherman, his beard is swaying by the breeze and the folds of his clothes are clearly visible. This highlights the theatrical element in the painting. This theatrical aspect continues into the other compositions. The whole work sets nearby a cliff in the viewing perspective of a hiker looking down towards the fisherman, as if waiting to greet him as their eyes meet. The inscription describes a story after the scene, that the beach was empty with a boat and a fishing rod. But where is the fisherman? One might guess he could be on the shore chatting with a hiking scholar. This theatrical suspense reflects Pu’s character and recalls his constant reminder to his students that a painting needs to be vibrant. This should be achieved through sophisticated swift strokes. This makes a work of art spring into life. Pu’s clever use of lines, inscriptions and calligraphy results in an elegant painting steeped in history.
