Figure Mooring a Boat by Kannan. A sepia-toned painting on aged paper with a gold border. A boat with a single mast floats on water to the left. A person walks a donkey on a path on the shore to the right. The donkey faces left. A large tree with drooping branches and rocks are on the right side of the path. A steep cliffside rises behind with a tree growing on top. A square seal with Chinese characters is stamped on the upper right. More cliffs are visible on the left side. The painting depicts a serene scene with a range of mountains and body of water.
