王蓍性情高逸，是个隐逸人物，和《儒林外史》的作者吴敬梓是熟悉的朋友。据何满子先生考证，“被吴敬梓当作文人的楷模标示出来的元末的逸士王冕，……更近似活跃在吴敬梓思想中的王宓草的影子。”（《论儒林外史》）。何先生举了吴敬梓的《文木山房集》中“挽王宓草”一诗为证，全诗长达二十四句，其中提到王蓍，“高隐五十载，画苑推耆英。”又说，“毫端臻神秀，墨晕势纵横。”更赞扬他，“悬金在都市，往往收奇赢。幽居三江下，江水濯尘缨。”对王蓍的推崇，是和吴敬梓对王冕评价一致的。我这里更要补充一点是，王蓍还工篆刻，而众所周知，王冕首创了花乳石刻印，印人传里，自是开宗立派的人物。吴敬梓对王蓍这位比他年长而又熟悉的朋友是钦敬的，文学是来源于生活的，在写作时不可能不在自己的交游中取材。当然这样并不是说，小说中的王冕就是王蓍这个人。我们只能说，也画没骨花卉的嘉兴人王蓍，是小说里王冕的原型。而作为小说里的王冕，是吴敬梓的再创造，自有他独特的性格与特征。
王蓍还著有一卷《豆区八友传》，是有关饮食方面的作品，被《四库全书》存目，提要说这本书成于崇祯十二年，内容为：“以制造菽乳，其名有八。因呼八友，各为寓名而传之，盖游戏之小品。”可见王蓍风趣的一面。

作品但见山峰起伏，林峦蜿蜒，平岗连绵，境界开阔辽远，雄秀苍莽，简洁清润，显示出作者不俗的艺术造诣，且作品以十条屏形式出现，品相俱佳，更显珍贵。
