Reminiscences of Qinhuai River

An album leaf in ink and soft color shows a steep, craggy mountain rising diagonally, its ridges dotted with sparse trees and tufts of brush. A lone figure in a hat poles a small boat along misty water at lower right, while columns of calligraphy and red seals fill the upper left and margins.

Look closer: A red seal stamp sits in the lower right margin beside the boat scene.
