The Qianlong Emperor's Southern Inspection Tour, Scroll Six: Entering Suzhou along the Grand Canal
The image depicts a long, horizontal scene of a river with a large boat in the center. The boat has a flat bottom and a covered top with a row of windows along its side. It features a tall, narrow structure at its front and people standing along its sides. A smaller boat is positioned in front of it. The riverbank is lined with trees, buildings, and people. A bridge connects the two sides of the river on the right side of the image. The background shows more trees, buildings, and a hazy sky. The color palette includes shades of green, blue, brown, and beige. The image appears to be a traditional Chinese painting.
