By the banks of a river, two men in moored fishing boats gaze at the moon. Their rumpled robes and unkempt hair indicate their separation from the ambitions of public service, just as their rapt focus on the moon suggests their connection to nature. Of the few surviving paintings from the hand of the late-Ming painter Ye Guang, most are romantic images of fishermen, so it is likely that he specialized in the genre.
