The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a tall, narrow painting of a winter landscape with a fisherman. The painting depicts a gray winter scene with a large tree on the left side. The tree has bare branches that extend to the top and right side of the painting. In the bottom right corner, there is a small figure of a fisherman. The fisherman appears to be standing on the edge of a body of water. There are hills or mountains in the background. The painting has a beige border around it. The background behind the border is black on the left and right sides and white in the middle. There are several lines of Chinese writing on the right side of the painting. Two small red seals are visible, one near the bottom left corner of the painting and one near the top right corner.
