The natural gradations of the stone's inclusions are cleverly exploited to create contrast and depth, illustrating the creativity of craftsmen in their treatment of such material. Mist is implied by the lighter area carved into the boat, enhancing the sense of emergence from behind the jagged cliff edge defined by the darker, linear markings.
The fisherman, one of the four Noble Professions, belongs to an artistic tradition which symbolises withdrawal from worldly concerns, and a life in communion with nature.
An agate snuff bottle featuring a figure in a sampan, 1770-1880, was sold at Christie's New York, 12 September 2018, lot 719.
