The image depicts a scene of three people on a boat fishing at night on a river. The boat has a large net stretched out over the side with a man standing on the edge holding it. The man is wearing a hat and a robe. Below him, two people are sitting inside the boat; a woman on the left and a man on the right. The woman is wearing a robe and a hat. The man on the right appears to be helping with the net. The background shows a dark sky and a body of water, likely the Sumida River. The image is rendered in muted colors including shades of peach, black, and gray. The style is traditional Japanese woodblock printing.
