A robed figure sits by water under a large pine tree, dark mountains in the background
The image depicts a landscape scene with a single figure and prominent natural elements. In the lower right, a person with a dark beard, dressed in light-colored robes, sits on a dark, jagged rock. They hold a white, multi-petaled object, possibly a flower, in their right hand, and a long, slender staff extends from their left hand into the dark water before them. A large, gnarled tree with dense, dark green pine needles occupies the entire right side, its branches reaching across the top and towards the center. On the left, steep, dark brown and gray mountains or cliffs rise, receding into the upper left background where lighter, hazy peaks are visible. A body of dark water flows horizontally through the middle ground, separating the mountains from the tree and the seated figure. Scattered dark rocks and sparse green vegetation are visible in the lower foreground. The image features various shades of brown, dark green, and gray, with the figure's light robes providing a visual highlight.
