A vertical ink and color painting on paper depicts a serene riverside scene. In the foreground, a vibrant orange and brown duck perches on a dark, craggy rock, while its gray companion floats in rippling water to the left. Grassy banks snake across the midground from the left edge. In the upper left, three small birds fly near a misty mountain peak, rendered in muted tones of beige and gray.
