A horizontally oriented miniature album opening features an ink and color painting across two pages. Centered, a figure with a pinkish face and black hair, wearing loose robes of white and gray, rides a large carp swimming diagonally toward the upper right. Thick, black calligraphy in expressive strokes occupies the left page. A square red seal sits at the far left, while another marks the lower right corner against a swath of plain paper.
