The painting features a cluster of boulders and trees on the left, a small house or pavilion, and water or a river in the foreground, with hills or mountains in the background. Red seals are visible in each corner of the text and painting. Handwritten text is also present in the bottom-right corner of the painting. The background of the painting is a muted gray-brown, evoking a serene and contemplative atmosphere, "Enjoying the Wilderness in an Autumn Grove by Ni Zan".
