He was already a capable painter in his youth he met Wang Chien and Wang Shin-min who became his teachers. In addition to providing him with thorough instruction in painting, they also took him to view and copy the works of the ancient masters in many great collections. In this way, he was able to absorb the brush techniques of both the past and the present masters. Because Wang Hui was able to unite the best qualities of the Northern and Southern Schools of painting and because of his consummate skill, he became the greatest master of brush technique of the Ch’ing dynasty. Sitting in a pavilion, a scholar rests a lute upon his knees. Outside the window, a crane raises its wings, as though commencing a dance. A tall wu-t’ung tree rises in front to a solitary height and water encircles the retreat. The light and shade of bamboo and flowers enhances the quiet, secluded spot. A very similar composition, with a seal of Wang Meng (1308-1385) is in an overseas collection. Wang Hui’s picture is dated in the April of 1673, when he was forty-one. Later that year he went to Yangchou to spend several months with Ch’a Shih-piao, who presented him with poems to celebrate the visit.
