A figure in a small boat on water, with distant mountains and reeds.
Detailed Description
This vertical image, rendered in ink wash, shows a landscape scene. In the upper portion, three dark, rounded mountains have misty, lighter bases. Two small, square red seals with illegible characters are positioned in the upper right corner. Slightly above the horizontal center, a small, dark gray boat with lighter interior details floats on the water. A single figure, dressed in light-colored robes with dark hair tied up, is seated in the boat, leaning forward and appearing to tend to lines or nets extending from the vessel. Subtle, light gray lines around the boat appear to show movement on the water. The lower half of the image features light-colored water. In the lower right quadrant, a cluster of thin, light gray reeds extends diagonally upwards and to the left. A faint, oval red seal with illegible characters is located in the lower left quadrant. The color palette primarily consists of shades of gray and black against the light tone of the image, with small red accents from the seals.
