A tree grows on the left bank of the river, and another on the right. The river curves around a large boulder. In the background, there are mountains and more trees. The sky is beige. A red vertical banner with black and red Japanese characters is on the left cliff. A red seal and some Japanese characters are in the bottom-right corner. The artwork is "Landscape in the Mist" by Utagawa Kunisada.
