A vertically oriented ink and light color painting on satin depicts a river winding through towering, tan mountains. In the foreground, clustered pine trees with dark green needles stand on a rocky bank. To the left, a figure rows a small boat between steep cliffs. Fine ink lines and soft washes create textured, craggy peaks, while pale flowering trees and buildings nestle high within the landscape.
