Fishermen-Hermits in Stream and Mountain

A misty ink landscape with layered hills and dark pines receding into pale distance. In the foreground, willows and gnarled trees rise from rocky banks, while a small boat and two tiny figures, one in red, rest by the water.

Look closer: A tiny figure in red sits on the riverbank among the rocks, near the small boat.
