This painting alludes to the lofty scholar-artist Ni Zan (1306–1374) and his obsession with cleanliness. But Fu’s depiction of this moral paragon may also be read as a metaphor for sweeping away worldly concerns in the pursuit of virtuous conduct and self-cultivation—ideals long cherished by literati artists.
