An ink and light color painting on paper depicts a man with light skin tone and a sparse beard reclining on a rocky slope. Wearing a light blue robe, he gazes upward beneath a gnarled tree branch with wispy leaves. To the left, a large rock rises beside vertical Chinese calligraphy and a small red seal. The minimalist composition leaves the cream-colored background mostly open toward the right.
