A hanging scroll with ink and light color on tan silk depicts a vertical landscape of bamboo and swirling water. In the foreground, a duck stands on a dark rock. To the right, tall bamboo stalks and two ducks emerge from a craggy rock formation. Muted tones and fine brushstrokes define the scene, with water snaking between the rocks. Red square seals are featured along the side and bottom borders.
