River Village in a Rainstorm
A hanging scroll in ink and slight color shows a riverside village beneath a cliff, with diagonal bands of rain sweeping across the sky. Moored boats and a sailing mast sit at the water's edge, and wind-bent trees lean over rocky slopes. Pale ochre silk and soft washes give the scene a damp, hazy atmosphere.
Look closer: A small red seal impression sits near the top right, beside the tree branches.
