The image depicts a landscape with a body of water in the foreground and a shoreline with buildings and trees in the background. Two people are in a small boat on the water. The boat is positioned in the lower center of the image, with one person at the front and one at the back. The people are wearing head coverings. A line extends from the boat into the water. The shoreline in the background has several trees and what appears to be a fence or barrier running along it. There are buildings behind the shoreline, and a group of birds flying in the sky. The image is rendered in shades of brown and gray. The title of the image is "Book of Ehon Ginsekai (The World in Silver)" by Kitagawa Utamaro.
