Illustration of Su Shi’s “Second Rhapsody on Red Cliff”

The illustration depicts a serene landscape within a circular frame. A large tree with sprawling branches and dark green leaves dominates the left side, situated on a rocky cliff face. The cliff face is light brown with darker shading to indicate depth and texture. A few red flowers or leaves are visible on the left edge of the cliff. In the background, there are rolling hills and mountains with varying shades of brown. A body of water reflects the landscape, with a boat and a person in it positioned at the bottom center. On the shore, two people stand near a small structure. A vertical strip of paper with Chinese characters is placed on the top right side of the circular frame. The circular frame has a light brown background with darker vertical lines, and it is set against a cream-colored border.
