Brief Description
A boat with two figures, faint mountains, many red seals, and black calligraphic text
Detailed Description
The composition is horizontal on a light-colored background. On the far left, several columns of black calligraphic text are visible. Below this text, in the lower-left quadrant, a wooden boat with two figures floats on calm, light-colored water. One figure is seated in the stern, wearing a long white robe with dark trim, facing right. The second figure stands in the bow, wearing a light blue garment, holding a long pole. A light brown, rectangular covered structure is positioned in the middle of the boat. Above the boat, a faint, undulating line of mountains or hills is depicted with light blue and green washes, extending across the middle of the composition. The upper-middle and right sections are covered with numerous red seals of various shapes, including squares, rectangles, circles, and ovals. These seals contain characters and are scattered across the surface, some grouped closely, others more spread out. On the far right, a distinct vertical section, slightly lighter in tone, features three large, prominent square red seals stacked vertically, each filled with characters.
