A circular silk painting in ink and color depicts a misty shoreline in muted brown and tan. On our right, bare branches and bamboo arch toward the left. Two small birds perch in the upper branches, while a third flies nearby. Below, two ducks swim on our left, opposite a rocky bank with small red flowers. Fine, delicate brushwork and soft washes define the scene against the hazy, atmospheric background.
