The Brush Holder by Gu Jue depicts a cylindrical wooden container with a black base and top. The cylindrical body is made of light-brown wood and features a carved scene. The scene shows a mountainous landscape with trees, rocks, and a figure in a boat on water. There are also several people standing on the shore. The background of the image is a gradient of gray, transitioning from dark at the top to light at the bottom. A shadow is cast to the right of the object. The object sits on a white surface.
