A horizontally oriented ink and color painting on silk depicts a landscape where a waterfall cascades down a mountain on our left. Below, three figures with light skin tones sit in a circle on a flat rock. To their left, a person carrying a basket walks a path. Muted tones of dense trees and craggy rocks fill the scene, their silhouettes fading into a misty expanse on our right.
