A monochromatic hanging scroll on tan paper depicts three geese in a marsh. In the foreground, two geese stand facing left; one raises its head with an open beak as if calling. To the right, a third goose rests near tall, sweeping reeds. Broad ink washes suggest a hazy, distant shoreline across the background. A small red seal marks the lower left, grounding the composition amidst soft, atmospheric brushwork.
