- Physical Description
- Hanging painting on white cloth. Painting is done in very stark blacks and whites with very little shading or faded color. A tree occupies the foreground and the left side of the painting. Mountains are in the background, as well as a boat, on the right side. An inscription is located in the upper right corner of the image.
- Subject Matter
- A tree in the front and left of the image takes up most of the space. Behind the trees and off the edge of the painting can be seen a couple small buildings. Mountains are in the background. The tree is clearly rooted to the ground, and the boat in the background appears to be floating down the river. The sizes of objects in the painting confuse spatial depth. The small boat appears to be holding a crate or box while two men work at the back of the boat pulling on ropes attached to the single sail.
