A vertical mount features a circular ink painting on silk of a misty landscape. Jagged mountains rise through hazy, white clouds above a wide river. A small boat with a tall sail and two figures floats toward the right shore, where dense trees grow. Vertical columns of Chinese calligraphy fill the upper section, and small red seals are stamped across the artwork (see "Inscriptions").
