A hanging scroll in black ink depicts a gnarled willow tree with thick bark and downward sweeping branches punctuated by dark dashes of foliage. A multitude of swallows with forked tails swarm to the right, their bodies rendered in quick brushstrokes against a pale gray background. Rocky mounds anchor the base, while fine streaks and dark dots across the landscape represent vegetation. A large rock formation sits in the upper left.
