Detailed Description
The vertical image depicts a scene with a large, bald, and bearded man in a boat, a deer, a turtle, a pine tree, and a flying crane, rendered in muted tones of brown, green, and gray against a light beige background. In the upper left, a white crane with black wingtips and red markings on its head flies downwards, its wings spread. To the right, a large, gnarled pine tree trunk extends from the top edge, with dark green needles on its branches reaching towards the left. Below the pine tree, a smaller, bare tree with delicate branches is visible. In the lower half of the image, the man, with a prominent bald head, long white beard, and large earlobes, is seated in a dark brown boat. He wears a green robe with white undergarments. His body is turned slightly to the right, and he leans forward, extending his right arm towards the water. His left hand rests on the edge of the boat. Inside the boat, behind the man, a white deer with small antlers is visible, its head facing left. The man's right hand is positioned just above a small, dark-shelled turtle in the water. The water below the boat is depicted with light gray wavy lines, suggesting gentle movement. To the lower right, dark, jagged rocks and green bamboo-like plants emerge from the water. A red seal and black calligraphic text are visible on the lower right rock formation. The text reads '萬石'.
