Two Lovers Crossing a River

The artwork depicts a vertical, rectangular scene featuring two individuals dressed in traditional Japanese clothing. The person in the back has black hair styled under a traditional hat, and wears a light-colored robe with a darker lining. The person in the front, who appears to be an older man with a bald head and short white facial hair, is wearing a robe with black and red details, and appears to be lifting the younger person. Both people are standing in water that reaches their calves, with visible ripples around their legs. The background includes the drooping branches of a tree, likely a willow, against a muted brownish-tan color.
