Ink and colours on silk, mounted as a hanging scroll. A delicate landscape painting in a green-and-blue style.

Flanked by a table with books and writing implements, the figure blends harmoniously into the dramatic backdrop of blossoming trees in the foreground and towering mountain peaks in the distance.
