A pair of vertical hanging scrolls features aquatic scenes in shades of black ink on tan paper. On the left, two fish glide near a dark, jagged rock above rippling water. The right scroll depicts three fish amongst thin reeds and narrow bamboo leaves, sweeping toward a pale circular form. Sparse, streaking strokes and ink washes create depth. Red square seals mark the upper corners of both scrolls, bordered by narrow tan rims.
