A circular ink and color painting on silk with fine brushwork depicts a slender, pale dog sitting in the lower right of a muted landscape. Wearing a thin red collar, the dog turns its head toward the left. Dark pine branches reach from the right, while dense, weeping foliage fills the background in faded browns and grays. The silk weave remains visible across the entire surface of the weathered composition.
