Ink landscape of a thatched boat on a mountain stream, with a figure poling beside pines and a weeping willow.

Landscape Album in Various Styles: Pleasure in a Mountain Brook

An ink-and-color landscape shows a thatched-roof boat on a still mountain stream, where one figure sits under the awning while another poles or fishes with a long rod. Pines stand at the left, weeping willows lean over the water at right, and grey mist fills the upper sky.

Look closer: A small bird perches on a willow branch near the upper center of the scene.
