A traditional Chinese ink painting on beige paper. The painting depicts a landscape with trees, rocks, and a body of water. There are several trees with slender trunks and sparse leaves, some bare. The trees are on a rocky outcrop surrounded by a few low-lying shrubs. A small gazebo or pavilion behind and to the left of the trees. To the right, a small wooden bridge crosses the body of water. The background shows more rocks, trees, and a distant hill. The painting features several red seals or stamps with Chinese characters. The seals are circular and square in shape. The artist's name, Wen Zhengming, and the title, "Summer retreat in the eastern grove", are likely written in the painting but not legible.
