The painting depicts a serene landscape with a river, mountains, and blooming cherry blossoms. The image features a large mountain range with trees on the right side and a more barren slope on the left. The mountains are painted in shades of gray and brown. In the foreground, a river flows along the bottom edge, with a small boat carrying two people in the lower right corner. The riverbank is lined with white cherry blossoms. The sky above is cloudy and gray. The artist's signature is written vertically on the left side of the painting, accompanied by a small red seal. The overall color palette is subdued, with shades of gray, brown, and white dominating the scene. The title of the painting, "Blossoms by a River," is associated with the artist Kawabata Gyokushō.
