A horizontal ink and color painting on an album leaf depicts two figures in a minimalist space. On our left, a woman with a topknot extends a long-handled net. Beside her, a balding, mustachioed man sits hunched, his chin resting in his hands. A lone gourd lies to our right. Loose, expressive brushstrokes define their forms, while vertical calligraphy and red seals anchor the edges of the composition.
