Detailed Description
A vertical ink wash painting depicts a moonlit landscape in shades of gray and black. The upper portion of the artwork features a pale, circular moon positioned in the upper left quadrant against a light gray, hazy sky. Below the moon, a faint horizontal line suggests a distant shore or landmass, separating the sky from a body of water that fills the lower two-thirds of the composition. In the foreground, on the left side, a dense cluster of dark, slender trees or reeds with sparse branches rises from the water. To the right of this cluster, a small, simple boat with a pointed bow and stern floats on the water, with a single vertical pole extending upwards from its center. Further to the right, another, less dense cluster of similar trees or reeds is visible. The upper right portion of the painting contains dark ink calligraphy arranged in vertical lines. The text reads: "柿萬事者 繁作 船 三更月上當萬頃 老 漁網醉喚不醒 起未 霜印筆衣黑 唐寅畫". Below this text, several red square seals are stamped. Additional red square seals are visible in the lower left corner of the painting, and one red seal is in the lower right corner.
