An ink and color painting on silk, set within a circular format, depicts a tranquil winter landscape. On the left, a spindly, leafless tree rises from a snowy bank where two ducks huddle. Small birds perch in the branches while others fly across a muted, sepia-toned sky. Distant trees line a misty shoreline across calm water. Red square seals mark the corners of the mounting.
