A boat on water near a tree-covered bank, with distant mountains and two red seals
A wide expanse of water, rendered in lighter, hazy tones, dominates the central and lower portions of the image. A small, dark boat with a single figure is positioned slightly to the right of the center on the water. The figure appears to be operating the boat with a long pole or oar, and a small, dark bundle rests within the vessel. A steep, dark bank or cliff occupies the left side of the composition, extending from the top edge to the bottom. From this bank, a gnarled tree with a thick, twisted trunk and numerous delicate branches extends horizontally over the water. The tree's sparse foliage is depicted with fine, dark brushstrokes. In the far distance, on the right side, a cluster of tall, jagged mountains rises from the water, depicted in darker, misty gray tones. A smaller, dark landmass is visible closer to the foreground on the right, near the water's edge. Two red seals are visible: one in the lower left corner on the bank, and another square seal in the lower right corner, partially off the image frame.
