A hanging scroll with ink on beige paper depicts two fish swimming near a rock. At the left, dark blotchy dabs and sparse streaks suggest a craggy rock. In the lower right, two slender fish swim through light gray horizontal washes representing water. A square red seal marks the expansive, empty upper section. Gold silk frames the painting, with a patterned band visible at the top.
