Brief Description
A monochrome painting depicts figures in a boat on water near reedy banks, framed by patterned borders
Detailed Description
The image displays a scroll painting with a central horizontal artwork framed by decorative borders. The artwork itself is a monochrome ink painting, primarily in shades of gray, black, and white. A body of water occupies the lower two-thirds of the central painting, with a boat positioned slightly right of center. In the boat, one figure sits at the stern, holding an oar, while another figure sits towards the bow. A third figure is in the water to the left of the boat, appearing to pull something. On the right side of the water, a bank is visible with tall, thin reeds and darker, dense foliage or bushes. Behind these, a few bare, thin tree branches extend upwards. The background of the painting is a hazy, light gray, suggesting a distant sky or water. In the upper right corner of the painting, there is a red circular seal and vertical lines of black calligraphy. The central painting is bordered by a dark band with gold floral patterns, which is then surrounded by a wider, dark green border featuring a repeating gold wave-like pattern. The top of the scroll has two small, decorative gold and brown elements.
