 The body is painted with trees, mountains, and houses. The brushwork is soft and the perspective is well expressed in the sumi-e style. On the reverse side, there is also an inscription in praise of a poem, but the text of the poem is not clear as it is partially damaged. It is presumed that this is a self-praise by Qianzan, as it is similar to the depiction of waterfalls and landscapes.
