A vertical hanging scroll in ink depicts three fish among aquatic foliage. From the upper left, a spindly branch with sharp leaves stretches diagonally across the tan paper. Below, one fish glides right while two others cluster near a pale circular orb. Wispy seaweed and fine ink splatters populate the lower section. A red square seal marks the right edge, with gold-patterned silk borders framing the top and bottom.
