Three people sitting in the boat wear blue and white clothing with white hair. A man sitting at the left side of the boat wears a brown jacket and a black head covering. A woman sitting beside him wears a green and blue striped garment with a white head covering. A man on the left side with his back to the viewer is wrapped in a blue and white garment. A seated dog on the right side looks toward the viewer. In the background, the riverbank on the right side distant and lined with trees. A line of trees cuts across the center background. A few buildings are on the left side riverbank. The sky fades from light yellow at the top to blue near the horizon. The image includes Japanese text written in black and 2 small red stamps near the upper right.
