Scene illustrating the story of the Song dynasty literatus, statesman, and artist Su Shi 蘇軾 (1036-1101) when he was on the island of Hainan during his second period of exile. Caught in a rainstorm, he borrowed a farmer’s bamboo hat and clogs before continuing on his way, while the villagers laughed at the sight of his outlandish appearance. The earliest inscription is signed by the painter Qian Xuan of the Yuan dynasty, followed by Ming dynasty inscriptions by Song Lian 宋濂 (1310-1381), Hu Yan 胡儼 (1360/61-1443), and Feng Xi 豐熙 (1468-1537). At bottom is a poem and inscription dated 1840 by Xi Quan 希銓 (act. early 19th century). He had admired this image found in a shrine to Su Shi and had a painting made of it that he then had recut.
