Ink and light color landscape of pine trees, thatched cottages and a small boat on a misty lake with distant hills.

Landscape Album in Various Styles: Spring Plowing

A misty lakeside landscape painted in ink and light color. Gnarled pines and bare willows frame thatched cottages on the left, while a small boat with a figure drifts across the open water below distant hills, with rocks and reeds at the shore.

Look closer: A tiny figure in a small boat on the water, near the center of the lake.
