Detailed Description
The composition is divided between a body of water on the left and a rocky, tree-covered shore on the right. On the left, a wide expanse of light blue water, textured with faint diagonal lines, occupies the foreground and midground. Two flat-bottomed boats are visible near the shore. The upper boat has a white canopy supported by red poles, under which two figures are seated. One figure, wearing a red robe and a dark hat, faces left, while another in a white robe faces right. A third figure, partially visible, sits at the back of this boat. The lower boat, smaller and without a canopy, carries a single figure in a white robe, kneeling on a red mat, facing the upper boat. The right side depicts a sloping, rocky shore covered with sparse vegetation. Several trees with gnarled brown trunks and dense green foliage dominate this section. One large pine tree with dark green needles stands prominently in the center-right. Another tree with reddish-brown leaves is to its right. Further down the slope, a smaller tree with red, berry-like clusters is visible. Among the trees, two figures are seated on the ground. One figure in a brown robe sits near the large pine, while another in a red robe sits further right, looking towards a white ox. The ox, with a bridle, stands facing left on the grassy slope. The background shows distant, lighter-colored hills.
