Tiger-Flight Spring at the Back Gate, from Twelve Views of Tiger Hill,

An ink and light color painting of a tiled-roof gate pavilion set in a walled courtyard among tall, leafy trees. A figure stands on the pavilion roof, a man carries two buckets on a pole near the lower right wall, and a multi-storied building rises through the trees beyond.

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